New Dashboard Tracks Kansas Affordable Care Act Enrollment by Legislative District, County
The tool breaks down enrollment by county and legislative district as 20% of 2025 enrollees did not re-enroll in 2026, experts said.
- On Friday, the Kansas Health Institute launched an interactive dashboard tracking Affordable Care Act enrollment by county and legislative district to help residents and lawmakers visualize insurance participation.
- KHI designed the platform to break data down to the community level, going beyond previous county-only maps, and shared findings with legislators so they understand how many constituents are affected by ACA marketplace changes.
- Federal district data shows the 4th Congressional District, served by Republican Rep. Ron Estes, has the highest enrollment at 7.2%, or 53,958 people, while the 1st District, represented by Republican Rep. Tracey Mann, reports 5.5%, or 40,255 enrollees.
- Enrollment faces pressure as residents struggle with premiums; the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" eliminated subsidy assistance, and KHI senior analyst Linda Sheppard noted that some Kansans enrolled for 2026 are failing to pay.
- Sheppard expects a more significant enrollment drop in 2027 open enrollment as affordability challenges persist, though current dashboard figures do not reflect payment lapses since federal data updates only annually.
