YOUR MONEY: 10 million people expected to have Marketplace coverage at end of 2016

HHS aims to sign up more than 1 out of every 4 uninsured consumers eligible for coverage

U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell announced today that she expects 10 million individuals to be enrolled in coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplaces and paying their premiums – so-called effectuated coverage – at the close of 2016. 

As part of that goal, HHS believes more than 1 out of every 4 uninsured Marketplace-eligible consumers will select plans during Open Enrollment.
