NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Federal health officials say 141,740 people in Louisiana had active health insurance under President Obama's health care law as of June 30.
Almost 91 percent of the Louisiana enrollees, 128,524, were receiving tax subsidies to help with the cost, according to Tuesday's figures from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The department said Louisiana is among the 10 states with the highest number of consumers receiving tax subsidies. The average monthly subsidy in Louisiana was $322.
The figure released Tuesday was down from 149,954 reported in March. The administration says enrollment was terminated for some people for a variety of reasons, including failing to prove immigration status.
