16.4 Million Have Gained Health Insurance

More than 16 million Americans have gained insurance coverage as a result of President Obama’s health care law, the administration said as the White House prepares to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the law’s signing, the AP reports.

“Most of those gaining coverage — 14.1 million adults – got their insurance after the law’s big expansion began at the end of 2013. Another 2.3 million people had gained coverage previously. Those were young adults allowed to remain on a parent’s plan until age 26 under one of the law’s most popular provisions.”
