Fact-check: “Obama health insurance members grew by 3.5% in 2025”
Verdict: False (95% confidence)
Every available CMS primary source shows ACA marketplace enrollment grew by roughly 13% in 2025, not 3.5%. Open-enrollment plan selections rose from about 21.4 million in 2024 to 24.3 million in 2025 (a ~13% increase), and February 2025 effectuated enrollment of 23.4 million was also ~13% above February 2024's 20.8 million. No official CMS or HHS source documents a 3.5% growth figure for any standard ACA enrollment measure in 2025.
