New Jersey enrolled a record high number of people in the state’s individual health insurance marketplace under the Affordable Care Act.
Gov. Phil Murphy says 324,000 people enrolled in 2021. The increase stemmed from open enrollment, which ran from Nov. 1 to Jan. 31. It was a 20% jump over the previous year.
The jump comes after state and federal financial aid aimed at reducing economic fallout from the COVID-19 outbreak. For instance, the 2021 federal American Rescue Plan set a ceiling of 8.5% of income for the cost of health insurance.
