More than 4.2 million people enrolled into private plans via Obamacare’s health insurance exchange marketplaces through March 1, the Department of Health and Human Services announced in a report Tuesday.
The first open enrollment period on the exchanges, which are intended for individuals and families who don’t get health benefits at work and aren’t covered by government health care programs, ends March 31 for private coverage that will be in effect this year. At the current pace, sign-ups are below the original target of 5.6 million by the end of February, based on the Congressional Budget Office projection of 7 million by the end of March. Last month, the budget office downgraded those projections to 6 million total for the full six-month enrollment period, so a big surge would be needed in the final weeks to meet that benchmark.
