While 11.7 million Americans signed up for insurance through state or federal online health exchanges by the Feb. 22 extension for the Affordable Care Act program, only 10.2 million had paid for their plans as of March 31, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced Tuesday afternoon.
That represented a stark rise from the 6.3 million customers who had paid for the exchange-based insurance at the end December 2014.

“Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, millions of Americans now rely on the health and financial security that comes from affordable coverage through the Marketplaces. We’ve seen a historic reduction in the uninsured and consumers are finding the coverage they need at a price they can afford,” said Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell in a statement announcing the enrollment.
The bulk of the signups came from federal marketplaces, which accounted for 7.5 million people. Meanwhile, state marketplaces accounted for the remaining 2.7 million people.
