The Asian & Pacific Islander American Health Forum (APIAHF) writes to oppose the proposed 2027 Notice of Benefit and Payment Plan Parameters (NBPP). The drastic changes to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) will result in confusion, instability and mass disenrollment of vulnerable families across the country.

The ACA marketplaces provide essential health coverage to tens of millions of Americans. Over 24 million people obtained Marketplace coverage in 2025, reflecting record enrollment gains over the past decade. AANHPI communities have seen particularly meaningful coverage gains and lower uninsured rates since ACA implementation, with over 1.5 million AANHPI consumers enrolled through HealthCare.gov in recent years.
