As of early 2025, a record 24.3 million people were enrolled in Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace plans. While exact numbers for families are not reported, this figure represents the total number of individuals covered by these plans.
Key facts about this enrollment record:
The
enrollment figure for 2025 is double the number of enrollees who signed up in
2021.
Over
90% of those enrolled in marketplace plans qualified for financial assistance,
which helped increase affordability.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released a report on January 17, 2025, that noted 24.2 million consumers had signed up for coverage during the 2025 open enrollment period. The total was later updated to 24.3 million.
As of the end of the 2025 Open Enrollment Period, a record 24.3 million people were enrolled in Affordable Care Act (ACA) Marketplace plans. However, the number of families is not specified in the enrollment data, as the official statistics count individuals who have selected a plan.
ACA enrollment data for 2025
Total
enrollment: 24.3 million people selected or were automatically re-enrolled
in a health plan through the ACA Marketplace.
New
consumers: Roughly 3.9 million of these were new enrollees for 2025.
Returning consumers: About 20.4 million were returning customers.
Family enrollment estimates
While official data is released per individual, the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) provides analysis on the overall Marketplace enrollment, which includes families.
Using
the available individual data, it is possible to make a rough estimate of the
number of families.
Ratio approach: In 2024, approximately two people were enrolled for every subsidized tax credit filed by a family in the ACA Marketplace, according to the Center for American Progress. However, this is not a perfect indicator, as some families may have multiple policies, and the family size varies.
Household income data: Some data indicates the number of plans selected by household income, but not the average size of the enrolled families.
Alternative interpretation: "Families" can be difficult to define in a way that aligns with ACA enrollment data, which focuses on individuals. Some households may have more than one family member enrolled under different plans or subsidies.
