Final 2025 Open Enrollment Report: Household Income (200 - 400% FPL)
Mon, 05/12/2025 - 2:24pm

Next, let's look at the 200-400% FPL brackets. These make up almost exactly 1/4th (24.7%) of total ACA exchange enrollment this year.
These ~6 million enrollees are the ones who will be hit with a double whammy if both the IRA subsidies and Silver Loading end next year: Not only will they be hit with skyrocketing monthly premiums due to dramatically less-generous APTC subsidies, but they'll be far less likely to be able to use what subsidies they do receive to enroll in lower-deductible Gold plans (which cover ~80% of average claims) vs. Silver plans (which only cover 70-73% of average claims, depending on whether they include CSR help or not).
