Obamacare signups up 1.1 million in January
LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- Another 1.1 million people enrolled in Obamacare federal and state exchanges during January, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reported Wednesday. The figure represents a 53% increase from the 2.2 million people signed up for the three prior months that Affordable Care Act enrollment was in place, from Oct. 1 to Dec. 31. The number of those enlisted from state marketplaces thus far totals 1.4 million and via the federal government's troubled HealthCare.gov Web site is 1.9 million. Further, the percentage of young adults ages 18-34 that signed up in January was 27%, up from 24% for the prior three months, HHS said.
