Insights

This survey data provides important insights into the ACA market dynamics ahead of open enrollment. The stark contrast between subsidized and unsubsidized enrollees - with 66% vs 34% success rating respectively - highlights a significant market segmentation issue. The affordability gap is even more pronounced, with 81% of subsidized users finding premiums affordable compared to just 46% of unsubsidized users.

For eHealth's business model, the high overall satisfaction rate of 68% suggests stable customer retention potential. However, the significant portion (29%) supporting risk-based pricing indicates a market opportunity for more personalized insurance products. With healthcare being a top-three voting issue for 67% of likely voters, potential policy changes could significantly impact future market dynamics.

Ten years after full ACA implementation, eHealth report highlights gap between enrollees who receive subsidies and those who don't

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was fully implemented ten years ago in 2014, but with open enrollment just around the corner, enrollees are split on the law's success, according to original research released today by eHealth Inc. (Nasdaq: EHTH) (eHealth.com), a leading online private health insurance marketplace.
