ongoing ACA health insurance enrollment numbers
Well, I found it. No need to search through tons of media vomit to try to get to actual ACA enrollment numbers any longer, this page/spreadsheet is keeping track of them: http://acasignups.net/spreadsheet
The latest totals by state, as of 12/24-1/2, depending on when each state last reported them, add up to 2.2 million new private insurance plan owners, and 4.4 million Medicaid enrollees, since October 2013. 6.6 MILLION PEOPLE in 3 months!! That's despite the website blunders that likely kept hundreds of thousands more, at least, from enrolling. That sounds like market demand to me, even if the customer service computers do suck.
And that's also not counting the additional young adults under age 26 who were allowed to stay on their parents' plans as of September 2010. In June 2012, CNN Money put that total at 3.1 million people--it was growing then, and is probably a larger number now.
At least 9.7 million more people on health insurance than in 2010, due specifically to components of the ACA.
