Modern Healthcare: Roughly 17.6 million Americans have received some type of health coverage since the Affordable Care Act was passed five years ago, HHS Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell said Tuesday. That's a 1.2 million bump from a previous estimate released in March.
HHS also estimates, however, that about 1 million fewer people will have active insurance through an exchange than the number who had selected and paid for a plan as of March 31. Burwell said the figure is projected to be 9.1 million by Dec. 31, down from 10.2 million earlier this year.
