From KUT:
More people in Central Texas sought help getting health insurance through the Affordable Care Act during the first week of open enrollment this year than during the same period last year, according to a group that helps people get plans.
Open enrollment for insurance through the ACA, also known as Obamacare, began Nov. 1. Kori Hattemer, director of financial programs for Foundation Communities, said more than 1,050 people have come to her group to sign up through HealthCare.gov since last Thursday. That’s a 22 percent increase compared to last year.
