Obamacare enrollment doubled under Biden as battle over subsidies begins

^{Published on 2025-01-08 14:21:26 - MSN}

The Biden-Harris administration announced Wednesday that 24 million people signed up for an Obamacare exchange plan during the 2025 open enrollment period, a record high as subsidies that expanded this health insurance coverage are poised to expire at the end of the calendar year.

The article from MSN discusses the significant increase in Obamacare enrollment under President Joe Biden's administration, with enrollment doubling to 21.3 million people for the year 2024. This surge is attributed to Biden's policies that expanded subsidies and enhanced outreach efforts. However, this success is now facing challenges as the battle over these subsidies heats up. Republicans are pushing to repeal the enhanced subsidies, arguing that they contribute to the federal deficit, while Democrats and health advocates argue that these subsidies are crucial for making health care affordable, especially for middle-income families. The debate is set against the backdrop of upcoming elections, where health care policy could play a pivotal role. The article also mentions that the Biden administration has made efforts to extend these subsidies, but their future remains uncertain as Congress debates budget and health care reforms.
