ACA is on a roll

luzribeiroBiden (via a Zoom chat with Obama) shared some findings today from a new HHS report finding the ACA has broken new enrollment records, covering more Americans "today" (31 million) than ever before.
I say "today" in quotes because the numbers are already outdated.
E.g., the Medicaid enrollment numbers are from five months ago, but Oklahoma for instance last week began implementing the ACA Medicaid expansion its voters passed last year ("More Than 50,000 Oklahomans Signed Up For Medicaid Expansion The 1st Week").
And the ACA marketplace enrollment numbers miss virtually all of Biden's special enrollment period ("ACA Sign-Ups Exceed 1 Million So Far During Special Enrollment"), which extends through August 15 - so that number should keep growing throughout the summer.
But even that understated number is quite impressive and breaks new ground for the ACA.
New HHS Data Show More Americans than Ever Have Health Coverage through the Affordable Care Act
