(Reuters) - Nearly 7.3 million Americans so far have signed up for health insurance for next year through the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) marketplace, according to data released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on Wednesday.
The enrolment for 2024 includes 1.6 million new additions to the marketplace, the data showed.
People who want to choose a healthcare plan for 2024 under the ACA, also known as Obamacare, could enroll from November 1, 2023, to January 15, 2024. However, if they want to be covered as of Jan. 1, they generally need to choose a plan by Dec. 15.
