The government says 11.4 million people have signed up for coverage this year under former President Barack Obama�s health law. That�s just a slight dip from 2018.

Despite the Trump administration�s ongoing hostility to �Obamacare,� a report from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services released on Monday found remarkably steady enrollment� down only about 300,000 consumers.

Still, the number of new customers fell by more than 500,000. That�s a worrisome sign for backers of the Affordable Care Act. They say the Trump administration�s cuts to the ad budget and repeal of a requirement that people get insured will gradually eat away at the program.

The federal health insurance market, HealthCare.gov, has lost more than 1 million customers since President Donald Trump took office. State markets are holding their own.
