Episode Details

Obamacare enrollment is plummeting nationwide, with over 2.6 million fewer Americans covered since last year—states like Ohio and Oklahoma hit hardest, losing nearly a third of their enrollees. The drop follows the expiration of enhanced federal subsidies in January, which had made coverage affordable; without them, premiums doubled or tripled for many, forcing people to either pay more or go uninsured. While some blame fraud crackdowns, experts point to affordability as the real driver. Rising costs and limited alternatives mean many who left the marketplace likely remain uninsured, posing a public health risk. New Mexico is the only state to see growth, thanks to its own state-funded subsidies, proving that local action can make a critical difference.
