HealthCare.gov Enrollment Stays Flat; Rule Perturbs Plans with Chart: HealthCare.gov Sign-Ups Remain Steady

Now that the open enrollment period has ended for the 38 states that use HealthCare.gov to enroll people in Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace plans, the preliminary sign-up numbers offer relatively reassuring news for the insurers that operate in the individual market.

From Nov. 1 to Dec. 17 — an open enrollment period that included a two-day extension — 8.3 million people chose or were automatically re-enrolled in health plans on the federal exchange, CMS said on Dec. 20. That’s down just slightly compared with 2019, when total HealthCare.gov enrollment was 8.5 million.
