Not only is New Mexico's exchange enrollment up a whopping 28% vs. the same point last year, it's 20% higher than the 2024 OEP's final total of 56,472.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced today [January 10th] that additional resources and flexibilities are available in response to the 2025 Southern California Wildfires. CMS is working closely with the State of California and federal partners to put these flexibilities in place to ensure those affected by this natural disaster have access to the care they need – when they need it most.
On Jan. 8, 2025, President Biden determined that an emergency exists in California due to the emergency conditions resulting from the 2025 Southern California Wildfires beginning Jan. 7, 2025, and continuing. Additionally, on Jan. 10, 2025, Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra determined that a Public Health Emergency (PHE) exists in California and has existed since Jan. 7, 2025.
It was in early 2021 that Congressional Democrats passed & President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), which among other things dramatically expanded & enhanced the original premium subsidy formula of the Affordable Care Act, finally bringing the financial aid sliding income scale up to the level it should have been in the first place over a decade earlier.
In addition to beefing up the subsidies along the entire 100 - 400% Federal Poverty Level (FPL) income scale, the ARPA also eliminated the much-maligned "Subsidy Cliff" at 400% FPL, wherein a household earning even $1 more than that had all premium subsidies cut off immediately, requiring middle-class families to pay full price for individual market health insurance policies.
Here's what the original ACA premium subsidy formula looked like compared to the current, enhanced subsidy formula:
