Covered California Enrollment Grows Nearly 2 Million Amid Policy Uncertainty

California's Covered California health insurance program saw enrollment increase from approximately 1.63 million in 2021 to nearly 1.98 million in 2025, driven by growth in both new enrollments and renewals. The nine-county Bay Area experienced steady enrollment gains, with Alameda and Santa Clara counties leading in total sign-ups and percentage growth. Renewals remained the largest component of total enrollment across the region, while only Solano County experienced a slight decline in sign-ups. Recent Congressional Budget Office reports suggest that proposed policy changes could increase the uninsured population by 2034, indicating potential market impacts on enrollment dynamics in the coming years.
