Health Insurance

Preliminary numbers are showing a drop in Obamacare enrollment. The decline of roughly 800-thousand people is an early indication that allowing the enhanced premium tax subsidies to expire caused people to defer signing up for health insurance. A study by the Kaiser Family Foundation estimated that 130,000 Alabamians will be among the Americans who will lose their Affordable Care Act coverage.

The U.S. House is scheduled to go back into session on Tuesday. Policy advocates in Alabama say this could be the first chance to address rising costs associated with the Affordable Care Act. Subsidies expired last week causing the price of coverage to jump as much as twenty five percent.

An estimated half million Alabamians get their healthcare through the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. Enhanced premium tax credits associated with ACA are set to expire at the end of this year. They’ve been at the center of recent tensions in Congress, with Democrats calling for a straight extension and several Republican lawmakers vehemently opposed to the idea.
