February 26, 2014 -- About 4 million people have signed up for insurance through federal and state health marketplaces, the head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) said last week.
In a blog post released in the evening, CMS Administrator Marilyn Tavenner announced the latest enrollment estimate, reflecting activity since October.
A full enrollment report for February will be released in mid-March, CMS said.
"Our outreach efforts are in full force with community partners and local officials participating in hundreds of events each week and enrollment assistors are helping more and more people enroll in coverage," Tavenner said.
