6.4M signed up for 2015 HealthCare.gov plans

About 6.4 million Americans have selected a new individual health care plan or have been automatically signed up again for a 2015 insurance plan through the HealthCare.gov website, a top U.S. health official said on Tuesday, putting the agency closer to its 9.1 million goal.

The 6.4 million figure includes only plans sold in the 36 states that use the website. Other states, including California and New York, have their own online exchanges, Reuters reports.

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell said of the sign-ups, about 1.9 million are new customers and 4.5 million are re-enrollments.
