FOX Business interviewed Manatt's Joel Ario, a managing director with Manatt Health, for information on the millions of people who enrolled on state and federal exchanges.
As reported by FOX Business, President Obama announced that 7.1 million people had selected plans on state and federal health exchanges, an achievement many worried wouldn't happen given the botched federal roll out and numerous delays and changes to the law.
Ario said that the feat is a "pretty amazing recovery," even though it is not yet clear who has made their premium payments.
"The best guess right now is that 15% of people have not yet paid their premiums, but they have made a decision to enroll," said Ario. "The insurers now have their contact information and will continue to pursue them to produce those enrollments. Most of these people will eventually enroll."
