Obamacare: quatre millions d'inscriptions

Si la bataille pour discréditer Obamacare fait toujours rage au Congrès, le nombre d'inscriptions continue de croître. On vise maintient six millions d'inscriptions d'ici à la fin mars. Ce ne sera pas à la hauteur des prévisions de sept millions, mais le chiffre demeure intéressant si on considère les débuts catastrophiques.

 "In a blog post, Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Marilyn Tavenner released the new number of signups through the state and federal exchanges. But she provided few details and no demographic breakdown, such as the number of young adults who have signed up or the percentage who have paid their premiums. Tavenner said health officials continue to see “strong demand nationwide” and that more than 12 million calls have come into the federal call center since the fall.

 “Our outreach efforts are in full force with community partners and local officials participating in hundreds of events each week and enrollment assistors are helping more and more people enroll in coverage,” she wrote.

 Tavenner’s post says a more complete report will be released in mid-March. Open enrollment for 2014 coverage ends March 31.

 The administration and its allies are stepping up outreach efforts with five weeks left to go in the signup season.
