Only 33% of Exchange Enrollees Kept Same Plan

One third of those who enrolled in a health insurance plan on Healthcare.gov this year picked the same plan as last year, according to a new analysis from Avalere. In total, 3.2 million of the 9.6 million exchange shoppers in 2016 kept their previous plan.

An additional 2.4 million people--25 percent of all Healthcare.gov shoppers--selected a different plan from their 2015 choice. More than forty percent were new enrollees to the market.
