NEW YORK (AP) — About 3 million fewer people in the United States had Affordable Care Act health insurance plans in February compared with the same time last year, according to new federal data.
Department of Health and Human Services suggested the 13% drop in enrollment from 22.1 million people in 2025 to 19.2 million this year could be attributed to a federal crackdown on fraudulent or “phantom” enrollment.
New data released by the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on Friday showed that 19.2 million people remain enrolled in ACA marketplace plans for 2026.
