(Bloomberg) — About 2.1 million people have medical coverage as of yesterday through Obamacare after a late surge in enrollment helped regain ground lost to the botched debut of insurance exchanges created by the U.S. health-care overhaul.
More than 1.6 million Americans signed up through state and federal exchanges in December alone, according to calculations from data released Dec. 31 by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The December tally is more than quadruple the first two months of the governments sign-up period.
