WASHINGTON – More than 745,000 people selected a Marketplace plan though healthcare.gov on Dec. 15, the most signups in a single day in history. As of Dec. 15, for healthcare.gov states and Dec. 9 for state-based marketplaces, preliminary data projects that more than 19 million consumers will enroll in 2024 coverage through the Affordable Care Act Marketplaces — more than 7 million more than when President Biden took office. “Millions of Americans signing up for health care coverage under the Affordable Care Act is good news,” said Secretary Xavier Becerra. “It means more Americans have the peace of mind of knowing that going to the doctor won't empty their bank account,” said HHS Sec. Xavier Becerra. “The Biden-Harris Administration will continue working to expand health care coverage and lower prescription drug costs, so taking care of your health is not a luxury.” The open enrollment period on healthcare.gov runs from Nov. 1 to Jan. 16.
