Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced enrollment numbers today for the federal and state online health insurance marketplaces that opened Oct. 1. According to the HHS statement, a total of 106,185 Americans selected coverage through the health exchanges -- 79,391, or 74.8 percent, though a state marketplace; and 26,794 people, or 25.2 percent, through a federal exchange. HHS determined that "enrollment" includes people who have selected a plan who either have or have not yet paid the first month’s premium. Medicaid enrollment data was also released.
