EHF researchers extracted data from the federal report to learn more about the 2015 Texas enrollees such as whether they were new to the Marketplace or were re-enrolling, the kinds of plans they selected, and their demographic characteristics.
Here’s what we found:
- Of the 1,096,868 Texas enrollees, 755,804 (69%) were re-enrollees and 341,064 (31%) were new enrollees. (Figure 1 below)
- Of the 1,096,868 Texas enrollees, 899,432 (82%) received federal subsidies and 197,436 (18%) did not. (Figure 2)
- Of the 755,804 re-enrollees, 413,514 (55%) actively re-enrolled and 342,290 (45%) were auto-re-enrolled. (Figure 3)
- Of the 413,514 active re-enrollees, 290,275 (70%) switched plans and 123,239 (30%) re-enrolled in the same plan. (Figure 4)
