Nearly 9 million enroll in Obamacare, topping expectations
About 8.8 million people signed up for insurance on the federal health care exchange during the latest open enrollment period for the Affordable Care Act, a senior health official announced on Thursday.
The higher-than-expected signups ran counter to President Donald Trump's pronouncements this year that Obamacare was "dead," "finished" and "gone." Enrollment was down only modestly from last year's 9.2 million, despite a sign-up period that was half as long and a 90 percent cut by the Trump administration in advertising for the program.
