About 9.5 million people have signed up or renewed their Obamacare insurance coverage for 2015, the U.S. government said today, surpassing last year’s enrollment total with 19 days to go.

The government has said it expects 9.1 million people to be paying for coverage in 2015. Because not everyone who signs up will pay their premiums and complete the enrollment process, the administration needs more than 9.1 million to select a plan by Feb. 15.
