And that is in the first year alone. The number increases over time.

AI summary

If enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium subsidies expire at the end of 2025, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that approximately 2.2 million people will lose their health insurance in 2026, a number that would grow to an average of 3.8 million people per year from 2026-2034 if the expiration is not addressed. This loss of coverage is due to rising costs making marketplace health insurance unaffordable for many people.
