What happened
In Washington, health insurance enrollment remained higher than state officials anticipated despite rising premiums. State Insurance Commissioner Patty Kuderer attributed the stability to an emergency rule used to maximize credits. The state saw only a small drop in enrollment, far less than the 80,000 people officials had feared might lose coverage.

Why it matters
The stability in coverage is significant because federal subsidies previously helped enrollees save more than $1,000 annually on premiums. The emergency rule helped maintain access to coverage amid the loss of those federal subsidies.
