Well, NPR has been tracking this and we've determined that more than 50,000 people have signed up. We're still missing a few big states like California. But just as with the estimates of the federal exchange information numbers, the states have different ways of counting this. Some count people who've paid, some who've merely selected a plan.
We do hear that the Medicaid expansion, which is a separate piece of the Affordable Care Act, has registered several hundred thousand people. But again, we're waiting to get official numbers on all of this.
And just how big a deal are these early numbers? I mean, the enrolment period runs until the end of March.
That's right. The administration has been saying all along that early enrolment would be slow and it doesn't matter as much as the final numbers. Of course, the website troubles have really suppressed the numbers. Those numbers should go up when the website is fixed. And today, in a sign of confidence about the website being fixed, the administration said they are sending emails to 275,000 people who got stuck on the website and they've invited them to come back.这是联邦交易情况。那正运行自己的交易网站出售健康保险的14个州的情况呢?有多少人已经注册了呢?
国家公共之声已经跟踪这方面的消息,我们已经确定有超过5万人注册了。我们还缺少像加利福尼亚州这样大的几个州的信息。但正如与联邦交易网站的信息数字估计,各州有不同的统计方式。一些州统计已经支付的人,一些州只统计选择了方案的。
我们听到《平价医疗保险法案医》的一个分支医疗补助发展,已经有数十万人注册了。但同样,我们也在等这一切的官方数字。
只是早期的这些人数交易量能有多大呢?我的意思是,报名期间直到三月底。
是的。政府一直坚称一直以来,早期的注册都是缓慢的,并不影响最终数量。当然,网站问题真的抑制了人数。网站被修复之后人数会增加。现在,在对网站的修复有信心,政府表示,他们正在向被网站问题困住的275,000人发送电子邮件,邀请他们回来。
