THE HILL — This year’s ObamaCare enrollment officially beat expectations with at least 11.4 million Americans signing up in the second year, the White House announced late Tuesday.

The most recent enrollment period officially ended on Sunday – a day that saw the most signups than any other day in ObamaCare history, officials said. More than 1 million people picked plans in the final nine days of the enrollment period.
“The Affordable Care Act is working. It’s working a little bit better than we anticipated. Certainly, it’s working a lot better than any of the critics talked about,” President Obama said in a videoreleased first on Twitter and Facebook.
“It gives you a sense of how hungry people were for affordable and accessible health insurance,” he added.
