*8 Million Americans* [ http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2014/04/17/president-obama-8-million-people-have-signed-private-health-coverage?utm_source=snapshot&utm_medium=email&utm_content=041914-blog ]

President Obama dropped by the White House Briefing Room yesterday to make a big announcement about the Affordable Care Act.

8 million Americans have signed up for private health insurance through the Marketplace. Yup, 8,000,000. And the ACA has helped millions more get covered: 3 million young adults gained coverage by being able to stay on their parents' plans, 3 million more people enrolled in Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program, and 5 million people enrolled in plans outside the Marketplace. All in all, that's more than 19 million people getting covered -- not too shabby.
