#ACA enrollment in #NewMexico actually went up in the past year, when it went down in almost the entire #UnitedStates. I have no idea why. #healthinsurance

@inti@archaeo.social might have something to do with this? The state has historically been -very- poor. "But by the numbers, so gradual it’s difficult to detect, changes to state tax policy are softening the bite of poverty. Federal data released last fall show that, after accounting for government benefits, over the last decade the share of New Mexicans experiencing poverty declined more than in almost any other state." https://www.kunm.org/local-news/2025-01-14/poverty-fell-more-than-a-third-in-new-mexico-due-to-tax-changes-but-theres-more-to-do
