When I last checked in on the official 2026 ACA Open Enrollment Period (OEP) data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), they had published the "top line" enrollment numbers for each state, including final numbers for the 30 states hosted via the federal ACA exchange (HealthCare.Gov) and semi-final data for the remaining 20 states (+DC) which operate their own ACA exchanges. I've repeatedly warned that the final, official CMS 2026 OEP report--which includes far more detailed demographic data including breakouts by metal level, income brackets, financial assistance and so forth likely wouldn't be published until late April or early May based on last year when it wasn't published until May 11th. Well, it turns out they moved that up substantially after all: The final 2026 OEP Public Use File was just uploaded at CMS today...and while there hasn't been any formal press release published yet, I have a copy regardless. With that in mind, let's dig in! Note before I start: While it's always possible that the Musk/Trump Regime has manipulated the data (as I warned last year), a cursory look at the top-line numbers suggests that it seems to be accurate.
"Good point:⚡Dems do feel they've won & gained in the crt of public opinion ➕have receipts (polls). In a key MT year that's far more than nothing.
But in terms of changing *policy* in the near T, shutdowns: usually pointless."

"2 shutdowns🚨now & no: enhanced #ACA subsidy ext or reforms to #ICE
But Dems spotlighted both issues & showed the base they’re fighting
➕Trump’s poll#s: way down as more Rs head for the exits ahead of MTs."

"In some ways, EHBs save money because they’ve increased access to preventive care, said Gerard Anderson, a professor of health policy and management at Johns Hopkins University’s Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Services such as cancer screenings and lab tests can lead to earlier detection of serious conditions, when treatment is less costly, and positive outcomes are more likely."

The Affordable Care Act put in place a package of benefits that health insurance plans must cover. Critics contend this mandate has jacked up premiums. Evidence supporting that claim is mixed.
