Roughly 6.4 million consumers signed up for Obamacare insurance on Healthcare.gov from Nov. 1 to Dec. 19 indicating “clear demand for quality, affordable coverage,” the U.S. government said on Wednesday.

The number of people signing up for Jan. 1, 2017 coverage during this period represents an increase of 400,000 compared with the same period a year ago, the government said.

Total plan selections through the extended deadline of Dec. 19 include 2.05 million new consumers and 4.31 million returning consumers actively renewing their coverage.

HealthCare.gov sells plans for 39 states while the other states run their own exchanges.

1. ACA member here. My rates will drop 20% for 2017 from 2016.

You read that correctly.

3. My rate went up for a much higher deductible and copays.

The only option we have on the exchange in Orange County Florida is BlueCross,so there is no competition. All the other insurers dropped out.

6. Nevada has a laundry list of competition still.

Sorry your state is screwing you over at the behest of the Insurance Monopoly.

8. Yeah, it sucks but I still appreciate so many things about ACA.

I blame our stinkin' Gov Scott.

2. You don't appreciate something until you are about to lose it.

4. Which they will all lose next month.

PS. I am on ACA as well.

So many will fade away and die.

5. And these are the Red Staters

These people all live in states whose governors refused to set up their own state exchange.

I used it last year, between my husband's retirement and getting to 65. I live in Florida and my premiums were pretty high (I went for a better plan). I was SO lucky not to be diagnosed for cancer until getting Medicare! When those monthly receipts come in, I just smile.

7. It looks like these 6.4 million (and a LOT more!) poor souls are about to have their coverage
