Why the Obama administration thinks Obamacare enrollment will go up in 2017

The Obama administration expects Obamacare enrollment to grow by about a million people next year, bringing more stability to the marketplaces after a tumultuous year.The administration estimates that the health law marketplaces will have, on average, 11.4 million sign-ups over the course of 2017 — an increase from the 10.5 million enrollees in 2016."The marketplace is strong and will continue to be strong because it's offering people a product that people want and need," Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Matthews Burwell said in a Wednesday speech.

Obamacare enrollment is expected to grow 9% to an average of 11.4 million in 2017, administration officials said Wednesday.Enrollment next year is critical for the president's signature health reform law.Large insurers, including Aetna and UnitedHealthcare, are scaling back participation, and remaining carriers are hiking premiums to cut losses from sicker-than-expected enrollees.

Under pressure to stabilize wobbly insurance markets nationwide, the Obama administration is making a new push to sign up Americans for health coverage through the Affordable Care Act, aiming to increase enrollment by about 1 million in 2017.With insurers canceling health plans or raising premiums by double digits in many parts of the country, that represents only modest enrollment growth over 2016.And it means that next year, average enrollment on HealthCare.gov and other state-run insurance marketplaces such as Covered California will be about 11.4 million, according to projections from the Department of Health and Human Services.
