The White House announced on Tuesday that 11.4 million people signed up or re-enrolled in health insurance through the federal exchange during the 2015 enrollment period.

On the last day of the enrollment period, on Feb. 15, HealthCare.gov saw its biggest enrollment day ever for new users.

About 7 million people signed up for health insurance during the 2014 enrollment period.

President Obama made the announcement in a video posted on Facebook.

“It gives you some sense of how hungry people were out there for affordable, accessible health insurance. And that’s really the top line message. The Affordable Care Act is working,” he said about the 2015 enrollment numbers.
