Mississippi ACA Marketplace Overview
In 2026, approximately 90,000 Mississippi residents are enrolled in ACA Marketplace coverage. Mississippi uses the federal exchange, Healthcare.gov for health insurance enrollment.
Mississippi has not expanded Medicaid under the ACA. Adults in the coverage gap (earning too much for Medicaid but too little for Marketplace subsidies) may have limited options.
