Who is uninsured in New Mexico
218,391 people under 65 in New Mexico have no health coverage — 13.4% of the under-65 population, 6th highest of the 51 states and DC. 107,678 (49%) earn inside the premium tax credit range.
71,803 uninsured New Mexico residents (33% of the total) earn under $22,025. New Mexico expanded Medicaid, so that group mostly qualifies for it instead — and it enrolls year-round.
Where New Mexico residents enroll, and by when
New Mexico does not use HealthCare.gov. It runs beWellnm at bewellnm.com, and sets its own enrollment dates — which are not always the federal ones. Applying at HealthCare.gov will redirect you.
New Mexico's 2027 dates are not settled. beWellnm has not yet published its 2027 dates. We would rather say that than print a deadline we cannot source.
Checked 2026-09-01. 2027 dates moved nationally after a court ruling — what changed and why.
