More than 14.5 million Americans enrolled in Obamacare health insurance for 2022, a 21% jump over this past year and the highest since the Affordable Care Act was signed 12 years back, the U.S. government said on Wednesday.
The law was former U.S. President Barack Obama’s signature piece of domestic legislation.
U.S. President Joe Biden said in a statement the Affordable Care Act had helped improve healthcare for millions of Americans and that his administration had recorded a rise in enrollment for Hispanic Americans by 26% and for Black Americans by 35%.
Over 18.7 million adult Americans across 39 states are actually insured under expanded eligibility standards of the Medicaid, Biden said on Wednesday.
