ACASignups: Damn, We're GOOD!
by Brainwrap .
Official enrollments 10/1 - 11/30: 364,682
"Over 1 Million" 12/01 - 12/20: at least 1,000,001
Total: 1,364,683
<...>
Meanwhile, check out the news on Medicaid (which has been spottier/harder to come by, even though the numbers are already higher):
The spreadsheet had the Medicaid/SCHIP expansion number as just over 2 million. There's been another 1.9 million that hasn't made the news until just now.
That's right. 1.365M + 3.9M = 5.265 million people total.
And according to the Medicaid article, that's only through Nov. 30. Since the HHS report only lists the 11/30 Medicaid number as 803,000, that means that the "mass enrollments" noted in the orange cells on the spreadsheet must not only be correct, but there must be a bunch more like that that I'm not aware of as well.

Nearly 3.9M Qualify for Medicaid Under Health Law
The Obama administration says nearly 3.9 million people have qualified for coverage through the health care law's Medicaid expansion.
The numbers released Friday cover the period from Oct. 1 to Nov. 30 and underscore a pattern of Medicaid outpacing the law's expansion of private insurance.
The spreadsheet had the Medicaid/SCHIP expansion number as just over 2 million. There's been another 1.9 million that hasn't made the news until just now.

Nearly Four Million Low-Income Americans Now Have Health Coverage Under Obamacare
By Sy Mukherjee
About 1.7 million poor Americans looking for health coverage were deemed eligible for Medicaid or the Childrens Health Insurance Program (CHIP) in November, according to new government data released on Friday. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) also revised previous estimates that about 1.5 million people qualified for Medicaid or CHIP in October up to 2.1 million. All told, that means that just under four million low-income Americans now have access to public health insurance.
CMS noted that Medicaid and CHIP applications have been spiking since Obamacares open enrollment season began in October. In states that expanded Medicaid, applications soared by 15 percent in October compared to the previous three months. Strikingly, applications have been on the rise even in states that didnt expand Medicaid, likely because intense media coverage of the health law rollout is bringing people who didnt know they qualified for public insurance out of the woodwork.
