If this happens, it would mean the ACA exchange market would drop by more than 1/3 from the ~24.2 million currently enrolled (myself & my own family included).
However, I've repeatedly stated that even this is likely a low estimate--the remaining ~16 million exchange enrollees would still be hit with MASSIVE (and in some cases eye-poppingly huge) premium hikes which would force them to drop to far worse plans (meaning much higher deductibles & co-pays; worse provider networks and so on).
Last month, in response to House Republicans passing their version of the budget resolution bill, I broke out total enrollment in Medicaid via ACA expansion, ACA exchange Qualified Health Plan (QHP) enrollment and ACA-based Basic Health Plan (BHP) enrollment by Congressional District in order to try and get a sense of just how many Americans healthcare coverage is at risk from the bill...and how that breaks out along partisan lines at the House District level.
As I noted at the time, Republicans seem to be under the impression that it will mostly be Democrats who get screwed by their bill, since 9 of the 10 non-expansion states are Republican strongholds...while some Democrats seem to be under the impression that it will mostly be rural MAGA republicans who get screwed.

16 Million Americans Would Become Uninsured Due to Reconciliation Bill and Loss of Tax Credits; 8.2 Million in Marketplaces Alone
Leaders from State-based Health Insurance Marketplaces, Enrollees, Providers, and Small Business Highlight Potential, Devastating Impacts
(Washington, DC) The Congressional Reconciliation bill and loss of federal tax credits would result in 16 million Americans losing health coverage, including 8.2 million enrolled in Health Insurance Marketplaces. By stripping millions of lives from the Marketplaces, health care will be more expensive, harder to access, create a strain on health care systems, and hurt small businesses.
Governor Kathy Hochul today released new data showing the massive impact the GOP’s ‘Big Ugly’ Reconciliation Bill would have on New York families. The latest bill threatens to severely disrupt health coverage for millions of New Yorkers. In addition to increasing the number of uninsured by 1.5 million and stripping $13.5 billion in annual funding from New York’s healthcare system, the bill would trigger steep increases in private health insurance premiums for vulnerable New Yorkers and impose excessive burdens on consumers enrolling through NY State of Health, the State’s official health plan marketplace.
