The report found 46 percent of insurance enrollees who selected plans on the federal marketplace have premiums of $50 or less a month.
The cost of the average monthly premium for all plan types dropped from $346 to $82 — a 76 percent decrease — when tax credits were applied.
The report also found people who purchased silver plans — the most popular type of plan in the federal marketplace — with tax credits pay an average premium of $69 per month.
“What we’re finding is that the marketplace is working,” said Sylvia Burwell, HHS secretary, in a news release. “Consumers have more choices and they’re paying less for their premiums.”
