Of the lot, 1.7 million used healthcare.gov to enroll, while over 723,000 used state marketplace platforms.
The Aug. 10 announcement also pointed to record-high enrollment of 81.7 million Americans using Medicaid or Children’s Health Insurance Program services.
The announcement noted that as more people are signing up, they are also seeing on average $40 in savings per person per month because of premium credits. More than a third of people covered pay less than $10 each month.
HHS and the White House jointly launched the Summer Sprint to Coverage campaign July 15 to encourage sign-ups during the last month of the special enrollment period, ending Aug. 15.
