State Health Insurance Exchange enrolls more than 83,000

A total of 83,647 people enrolled in health insurance plans through the Silver State Health Insurance Exchange. That number is down about 7,356 from the number who enrolled a year ago but Executive Director Heather Korbulic said despite the enormous uncertainty from Washington, D.C., the exchange was able to help thousands of Nevadans find and enroll in health plans. And the vast majority of them — some 82 percent — receive a federal subsidy to help them cover the monthly premiums.
