If you’re looking at the bigger picture, they’re aiming for seven million new enrollees by March 31 of next year.

They’re 1.4 percent of the way there with almost 25 percent of the initial enrollment period having already elapsed.

This while 5.2 million Americans have received cancellation notices on their insurance policies., with many more to come.
