Now, the #AffordableCareAct (signed into law in 2010) is more popular than in 2014 when it came into effect under the #ObamaAdministration.

Who will lose out when ACA health insurance subsidies expire?

Here’s a look at who could be affected by the end of the Affordable Care Act credits and how much prices could change.

Some 22 million Americans are set to lose health insurance subsidies by the end of the year. Who are they, and what will happen if the subsidies are allowed to expire?

These subsidies, known as enhanced premium tax credits, lower costs for people who buy their health insurance through Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplaces (sometimes called Obamacare). They are at the heart of a weeks-long standoff that has shuttered the federal government since October 1. About 80 percent of the people who benefit from them live in states that Donald Trump won in the 2024 presidential election. Many have no idea that their health insurance costs are on track to go up.

Who benefits from the tax credit?

Almost everyone who got their health insurance through an ACA marketplace in 2025 received the enhanced premium tax credit, so describing the people who have ACA plans is a good way to get a sense of the people who get the credit.

The typical person with an ACA plan is an adult in their mid-40s with an income between 100 and 200 percent of the federal poverty line, or about $21,000 to $42,000 for a family of two.

Lower-income people with ACA plans will return to the lower subsidy levels from the early years of the ACA if the enhanced credits expire. A smaller group withhigher incomes will become responsible for the full cost of their premiums.

Nearly half of the adults on ACA marketplace plans are self-employed, small-business owners or small-business employees, according to an analysis from KFF, an independent health policy research organization. While most Americans get their health insurance through their employer, those who work for small businesses (or themselves) often have to rely on the exchange.

“The Affordable Care Act is specifically designed to fill that gap,” said Jessica Banthin, a senior fellow in the health policy division of the Urban Institute, a think tank.Advertisement

Marketplace coverage is especially common among some occupations: At least a quarter of chiropractors, musicians, real estate brokers, farmers, dentists and manicurists currently benefit from the tax credit.

Not everyone who gets their health insurance through a marketplace is employed. A Washington Post analysis found that about 9 percent are retired people who may not yet be eligible for Medicare and that 6 percent are students. However, only people with an income are eligible for the enhanced premium tax credit.

Where do people use the credit?

Democrats have made extending the enhanced credits their main demand to reopen the government. That extension will mostly benefit people living in states where Trump won the 2024 presidential election.

Trump Voting State Hit With HU...

"Republicans have tried more than 70 times...to weaken or kill Obamacare. But their campaign keeps backfiring.
"The sweeping tax and spending bill President Donald #Trump signed this summer...Though never marketed as a repeal, it unraveled much of the law and is expected to eventually push millions of people who gained insurance since the #AffordableCareAct’s passage off the rolls."

Heather exposes how House Speaker Mike Johnson and Republicans persistently oppose the Affordable Care Act, despite failed efforts and public disapproval. During a Fox News interview, Johnson falsely claims they have solutions, ignoring the reality Americans face with expiring benefits. This highlights GOP’s reliance on misrepresentation over real reform.

The #AffordableCareAct #ACA) / #ObamaCare was shit. It raised peoples' #premiums. Rather than support what was originally a #Republican #healthcare plan, #Obama could have just supported free across-the-board #universalhealthcare.
