(Bloomberg) -- About 11.7 million Americans signed up for Obamacare or renewed their coverage for 2015, slightly more than previously announced, Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell said.
The total suggests enrollment may surpass the administration’s goal in the second year of the program even as a pending Supreme Court case challenges the tax subsidies that underpin the law.
“We are finally moving the needle on reducing the number of uninsured,” Burwell said Monday at the White House. “These numbers represent real people whose lives have changed for the better.”
