Feds hit 8 million on health exchange signups
After a late rush of enrollments, the Obama Administration says the final number of signups through the federal and state exchanges ended up at just over 8 million.
"Together we are ensuring that health coverage is more accessible than ever before, which is important for families, for businesses and for the nation’s health and well being," said HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
The numbers show that the important 18-34 age category represented 28% of the enrollments, which was certainly short of the original goal - some experts said that number needed to be closer to 40%, but it was up from 25% at the end of February.
No information was given out to reporters on how many people have paid for their insurance; Republicans put out a report this week that said it could be as low as 67%, but White House officials disputed that assertion on Thursday.
Here are the figures for each state - they show the final total as of April 15, the number of people who signed up in March and April, and how that number compared to the first five months of enrollment between October and the end of February.
