Affordable Care Act

State officials worry that consumers who buy their own health insurance could end up with misleading policies that stick them with big medical bills.

State regulators are also considering enrollment caps for certain plans to promote "marketwide financial stability."

Covered California enrollment fell 2.7% following the end of enhanced federal premium assistance. That’s better than expected, but many people are making concessions to afford staying insured.

Roughly two million people rely on California’s health insurance marketplace, known as Covered California, to purchase coverage plans. The marketplace’s open enrollment period ends Jan. 31, but officials are reporting that new enrollment numbers are down compared to last year.

Open enrollment starts in November for people who don't get health insurance through their employer. Prices are up and government subsidies are in limbo this year.

Congress remains gridlocked as federal lawmakers jockey over changes to health insurance policy that could affect nearly 140,000 Oregonians.

Nearly 35,000 Oregonians who buy insurance through the state’s Affordable Care Act market will lose all financial help if enhanced tax credits aren’t extended.

Faced with potential federal spending cuts that threaten health coverage and falling childhood vaccination rates, Monica Soni, the chief medical officer of Covered California, has a lot on her plate — and on her mind.

California laws governing health insurance, access to abortion and health care for undocumented immigrants could be contested during a second Trump administration.

State officials say Oregon’s relatively flat enrollment with its subsidized insurance marketplace website reflects success with other health care initiatives.

The average Oregonian who buys health insurance on the individual marketplace will see costs increase 6.2% in 2024 after state regulators approved final rates.

For years, consumer advocates and some legislators have been battling to rein in escalating health care costs. Now the state has created a new agency to limit future growth in health care costs — and it will have the power to enforce that mandate.
