Carley Calvi came to the second floor of a public library in suburban Milwaukee one morning this month without health insurance to cover the vertigo medication she needed.
Worse, she said, was not having a doctor she trusted.
“I want somebody to value me as the person I am,” said Ms. Calvi, a 35-year-old woodworker.
With roughly 110 options and the help of a health insurance navigator, she selected a plan with a steeply discounted $221 monthly premium, placing her among the 21.3 million people who have signed up for coverage on the Affordable Care Act’s marketplaces for 2024.
Driving the surge in enrollment has been the continuation of more generous federal subsidies that date to the coronavirus pandemic.
