File:ACA Panel Chart V1.png
This panel chart illustrates several aspects of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). It includes coverage data from the CBO, cost data from Kaiser, and public opinion polls from Kaiser.
Key points:
- There were 24 million covered by Obamacare exchanges and the Medicare extension. Of the 12 million on the exchanges, 10 million received subsidies.
- Key parts of the ACA are very popular, although the mandate is unpopular.
- The electorate narrowly prefers retaining or expanding the ACA, over repealing or scaling it back.
- Costs have gone up pre-subsidy on the exchanges, but subsidies (tax credits) rose as well, offsetting these increases. After subsidy, health insurance costs changed little from 2016 to 2017. The second lowest cost silver plan is a popular plan also used for calculations of subsidies. Prices shown are for 40-year old non-smoker earning $30,000 / year.
