ACA exchange enrollment has dropped significantly in Alaska since Congressional Republicans allowed the enhanced federal subsidies to expire at the end of last year.
Initial signups during Open Enrollment were already down 9.2% vs. OEP 2025...but effectuated enrollment as of January 2026 was down over 12% year over year...increasing to a 13% drop as of February.
The good news, such as it is, is that due to Alaska having such a small ACA population to begin with, this only amounts to around 3,400 people losing coverage...which is small comfort if you're one of those 3,400 people, of course:
Here's what this looks like visually, with both 2025 and 2019 (the last pre-COVID year, which didn't include the enhanced subsidies) included for comparison:
