Medicaid and CHIP Enrollment Grows by over 9.1 Million People Posted November 19, 2014 By Cindy Mann, Deputy Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and Director of the Centers for Medicaid and CHIP Services Over the past year, we have seen the Affordable Care Act deliver on a number of important milestones as we work toward more accessible, affordable, quality health care for Americans. At the same time that we are seeing historic slow growth in health care costs, the Affordable Care Act continues to provide millions more Americans with needed health coverage.

By the end of the first open enrollment period, over 8 million people selected Qualified Health Plans (QHP) through the Marketplace.  As of October 2014, 7.1 million people were enrolled and paying for health coverage through the Marketplace.  This latter number represents a snapshot of a point in time, not the cumulative enrollment data from October 2013 through October 2014.    Read More: Medicaid and CHIP Enrollment Grows by over 9.1 Million People SHARE THIS You are subscribed to HHS.gov/HealthCare Blog Updates from the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. Having trouble viewing this email?
