Obamacare needs young people to sign up. And it looks like they’re starting.
Obamacare needs young people to sign up. And it looks like they’re starting.
By Sarah Kliff
The White House has made abundantly clear that the Affordable Care Act's success depends largely on getting young, healthy people to sign up for health coverage.
<...>
Access Health CT, Connecticut's marketplace, said earlier this week that approximately one-third of the people who have so far applied for coverage there are under 35. This would hover around the administration's goal of having 2.7 million of the 7 million estimated new enrollees be between 18 and 35.
Maryland put out new data Friday afternoon on the 25,000 people who have so far created accounts on its marketplace. The biggest demographic? Shoppers between 25 and 29.
