New York’s Obamacare health insurance exchange has enrolled 717,207 people, an increase of more than 50,000 enrollees since last week, health officials reported Monday – a week before the end of the open enrollment period.

“With the March 31 open enrollment deadline for individuals just one week away, we urge all New Yorkers to enroll in time and remind those who have completed applications to select a health plan before open enrollment closes,” said Donna Frescatore, executive director of the NY State of Health insurance exchange.
Under the Affordable Care Act, New Yorkers who do not have insurance coverage by March 31 could face a tax penalty.

Of those who have enrolled, 70% had no insurance at the time they applied for coverage, officials added. The enrollees include 342,895 who signed up for private insurance and 374,312 who qualified for Medicaid.
