The share of people who got government assistance to buy private health-insurance coverage has been rising since the start of Obamacare, according to a report released Monday.
More than 8 million people in the U.S. got subsidies to help them afford Obamacare plans last year, while 5 million bought plans without help. The report from the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services counts people who buy coverage on state- and federal-run markets, as well as people who buy some individual plans outside of the program.
