Obama: ACA marketplace enrollment reaches 4 million

President Barack Obama said Tuesday that 4 million people have signed up for health insurance through federal or state marketplaces, with a month remaining before the deadline for obtaining coverage (Source: “'Obamacare' enrollment reaches 4 million as key deadline approaches,” Associated Press via Cleveland Plain Dealer, Feb. 25, 2014).

"We've only got a few weeks left. March 31st, that's the last call," Obama said, explaining that anyone not signed up by that date will have to wait until the next open enrollment period in the fall. In addition, they risk being fined for not having coverage.
