Healthcare

Six Million Newly Insured Americans. Thanks, Obama.

The latest round of good news regarding the ACA:

2.1 million people have signed up for private coverage through the exchanges. That was the biggest news out of today’s conference call, where Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told reporters that 2.1 million have signed up for coverage through Dec. 28. That includes the 1.1 million that the White House had announced this past Sunday, who had enrolled through Dec. 24 on HealthCare.gov. There are also 3.9 million people who have been found eligible for Medicaid.

Total: six million. Three more months for open enrollment.
