Enrollments Now Jumping On HealthCare.Gov

With the website in much better shape, enrollments in the Affordable Care Act are increasing rapidly.

In the clearest sign yet that the federal health insurance website is vastly improved, about 29,000 people enrolled in insurance plans in the first two days of this week, exceeding the number of enrollments on the site in all of October, according to a source familiar with the data.

The 29,000 figure tallies the number of people able to select health plans Sunday and Monday, the 48-hour window after the administration’s deadline for making major repairs to the HealthCare.gov website.

That result is an encouraging sign for administration officials, who claimed over the weekend that they successfully met their goal of getting the troubled shopping portal running smoothly for the vast majority of users by the end of November…

In all of October, just 26,000 people enrolled on the federal exchange. The administration hopes to sign up 7 million people by the end of the enrollment period on March 31.
