Enrollment in private health insurance plans under the Affordable Care Act has been strong despite surging prices in some policies and Republicans' intent to "repeal and replace" President Barack Obama's signature health care law.
Figures released Wednesday from the federal government show that through Dec. 10 more than 4 million people picked plans on the federal exchange, Healthcare.gov. The numbers exceed last year's total at the same time by 250,000 people and include a100,000-person spike in enrollment that occurred a day after Donald Trump won the presidential election.
