Nearly Half a Million People Sign up for Obamacare in Second Enrollment Period’s First Week

462,125

Number of Americans who have purchased private insurance through exchanges operated under the Affordable Care Act during the first week of the second enrollment period, Nov. 15 to Nov. 21, 2014, according to the Health and Humans Services Department. Over 1 million people contacted call services for information about buying insurance. The number represents a blow to Republicans who are working tirelessly to prevent working-class, self-employed and other Americans from obtaining health-insurance coverage.
