Excellent news! 

What was the percentage for young people who enrolled?  Was the final number close to the 40% ideal?

Survey: Net gain of 9.3M insured under O-Care

Approximately 9.3 million people have gained health insurance since ObamaCare went live in October, a new study finds.

The Rand Corp. analysis, which only polled people through mid-March, before the late surge of ObamaCare sign-ups, found that the uninsured rate has fallen from 20.5 percent to 15.8 percent in that time.

This is in line with a Gallup survey released last week that showed the uninsured rate falling to 15.6 percent, the lowest it’s been since 2008.

Rand said that 14.5 million in total have gained new coverage since the launch, but 5.2 million of those were due to cancelled policies that had to be replaced, leaving 9.3 million newly insured.

According to the study, 1.4 million of the 3.9 million who had signed-up for ObamaCare through mid-March were previously uninsured. The Obama administration said nearly 5 million had signed-up for coverage at that juncture, but Rand acknowledged its figures didn’t “fully capture the surge in enrollment.”
