Protect ACA Marketplace Funding
A provision in a House budget/appropriations bill would cancel $2 billion in federal funding that supports the operations of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) health insurance Marketplace exchanges. These funds are critical to maintaining the infrastructure that allows millions of Americans to shop for, enroll in, and retain subsidized health insurance coverage through HealthCare.gov and state-based exchanges.
Eliminating this funding would jeopardize the day-to-day functioning of the ACA Marketplaces — including enrollment systems, consumer assistance programs, and outreach efforts — potentially leaving millions of Americans without a reliable pathway to affordable health coverage. Analysts and advocacy groups have warned that cutting this operational funding could destabilize coverage for a significant share of the roughly 21 million people currently enrolled in Marketplace plans.
Constituents are urging their U.S. Representatives and Senators to oppose any legislative provision that eliminates or reduces this $2 billion in ACA Marketplace operational funding, and to work to restore and protect it so that the health insurance exchanges continue to function effectively for all Americans who depend on them.
