The EDGE data used to show ACA “enrollees” without claims actually tracks “enrollments,” double-counting people who switch plans.
CMS says this causes a “small” overcount.
But EDGE enrollment totals are about 50% (11+ million) higher than other CMS enrollment data.

The updated reconciliation language doubles down on the bill’s Marketplace cuts by ending “silver loading” for the 2026 plan year. This would greatly increase many Marketplace enrollees’ premiums, compounding increases due to expiration of enhanced tax credits.

35 states (w/DC) done, 16 more to go.
Again, the black line is how much a 64-yr old couple earning $90K/yr has to pay for the benchmark Silver #ACA plan THIS year.
The blue bars are how much they'll have to pay NEXT year if the GOP Congress & Trump allow the IRA subsidies are allowed to expire.
