The Biden administration re-opened the country’s online health insurance marketplace earlier this year to give more Americans a chance to opt for benefits provided under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare.
The special enrollment period is set to conclude on Aug. 15.
About 1.5 million Americans opted to sign up for insurance on U.S. government website Healthcare.gov while 600,000 more enrolled in coverage through the 15 state-based marketplaces, new data released by the United States Health and Human Services shows.
In February, CVS Health Corp (NYSE:CVS) said it would return to selling individual health insurance plans on the online marketplaces created by the ACA.
