ATLANTA — The number of Georgians signed up for health coverage in the insurance exchange has topped 100,000, according to a federal report released Wednesday.
The Georgia enrollment of 101,276 through January lags behind that of two other states using the federal exchange that have similar-sized populations – North Carolina’s 160,161 and Michigan’s 112,013.
Still, the new figure represents a 73 percent jump from Georgia’s October-through- December total of 58,611 signing up. And it surpasses that of two states with slightly larger populations, Ohio and Illinois.
The age of the enrollees was again a prime focus in the federal report. Twenty-seven percent of Georgians signing up are ages 18 to 34, slightly higher than the 26 percent through December, said report from the Department of Health and Human Services.
