Washington (WBAP/KLIF) – The federal government reports more Texans signed up for Obamacare health insurance coverage during this year’s open enrollment period than enrolled last year: 30,000 more, for a total of 1.12 million. Nationally, enrollment was down 1.7%.
The federal report notes the signup increase in Texas came even though the state attorney general is leading a coalition of states in an on-going legal battle to eliminate the Affordable Care Act.
