Feds release first health enrollment numbers

The first numbers are out from the Obama Administration on health insurance enrollments - 106,185 is the total provided by the Department of Health and Human Services - of that, 25 percent came from healthcare.gov and the federal exchange that serves 36 states, the rest from the states that set up their own exchanges.

California had the most with 35,364, followed by New York at 16,404, then Washington State at 7,091 - all three of those states are running their own exchanges.

Of the states that are going through the federal exchange, the highest numbers came from Florida (7th overall) at 3,571, followed by Texas with 2,991.

No enrollment results were reported for the state run exchanges in Hawaii, Massachusetts, Oregon or Washington, D.C.

As for how these numbers were defined, this is the explanation in the release from the Department of Health and Human Services:

"To date, 106,185 persons have enrolled and selected a Marketplace plan — this includes those who have paid a premium and those who have not yet paid a premium."

In other words, as has been reported earlier, this includes people who have put a health insurance plan in their checkout cart, but haven't really bought it as yet.

Here is the data for enrollments as provided by HHS:
