The new report provides detailed information for each state, including:

Number of people covered by market (Employer, Individual, Medicaid managed care, Medicare Supplement or Medigap, and Medicare Advantage)

Total number of jobs supported directly and indirectly by the health plans

Average wages and state taxes contributed

Tax revenues paid to support the local economy

Individual marketplace coverage details including the average month premium tax credit and growth in enrollment since 2020

Key insights from the report include:

Health plans provide coverage for over 300 million Americans through employer-sponsored plans, Medicare Advantage, Medicaid managed care, and the individual market.

The direct and indirect economic impact of health plans supports millions of jobs across all 50 states and Washington, D.C.contributing billions of dollars in payroll and state premium taxes.

More consumers are served by the Individual Marketplace: States such as Alabama, Arizona, and California saw double-digit increases in individual marketplace enrollment between 2020 and 2024.

Employer-sponsored coverage remains strong, with most states reporting over 80% of workers having access to insurance through their employers.
