DALLAS — What’s more surprising: that a record 1.84 million Texans enrolled in Obamacare for 2022 or that over 2 million others passed on insurance despite being eligible for cost-cutting subsidies?
Texas has over 5 million uninsured residents, far more than any state, and it doesn’t have to be that way. Over half the uninsured Texans are eligible for affordable options on HealthCare.gov, including subsidies that were expanded this year and will remain in place through at least 2025.
So what’s holding people back? Usually, they say they can’t afford health insurance, but the numbers tell a different story.
