The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Releases Enrollment Totals

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services says there have been over 88 thousand applications for coverage under the Affordable Care Act this enrollment period.  

The new figures show an increase of 12 thousand from what was received last year.  The enrollment period was shorter than last year's too, lasting only from November 1st to December 15th.  It is unclear how many people will actually have coverage under the ACA because there can be more than one name on a policy application.
