The Department of Health and Human Services reports that 3.3 million have found coverage through either the federal or state exchanges by Feb. 1, with 1.1 million signing up in January alone, a 53 percent increase. It’s slightly better than the 1 million initially projected for the month.

It also comes off December’s dramatic surge of 1.8 million newly enrolled. The boom was partially the result of fixes to the marketplace’s disastrous October launch and the resulting backlog of users.

The website created under the Affordable Care Act — commonly known as Obamacare — still has a way to go to reach the government’s initial projection of 7 million by the end of March. Afterwards Americans will face a fine for enrolling after the deadline.
