Hundreds of thousands of Hoosiers recently transferred into the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Health Insurance Marketplace , many of them first-time users of the program. Part of that growth is likely due to Indiana’s unwinding of Medicaid coverage, or the review of millions of enrolled Hoosiers to redetermine benefits.
“It remains to be seen, but my hope is that the increased ACA enrollment rates reflect people successfully moving into the marketplace and maintaining or continuing coverage,” said Tracey Hutchings-Goetz, the communications and policy director for Hoosier Action.

Nearly 300,000 Hoosiers secured health insurance coverage through the ACA Marketplace during the open enrollment period for 2024, part of the record 21.3 million consumers nationally utilizing the program for the upcoming year.
