"Sign-ups surged as soon as enrollment opened Nov. 1, easily surpassing the number of Americans getting coverage during the opening days of the final two sign-up periods under the Obama administration. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services reported Wednesday that nearly 1.5 million people had selected plans through last Saturday."
"Democrats are hailing the initial surge as vindication for the beleaguered health care law, which has survived two major Supreme Court battles and repeated ill-fated repeal efforts by Republicans. The latest threat is the move to repeal the individual mandate as part of the Republican tax bill, which would damage but not necessarily kill the fragile markets."
