The marketplace enables people and small businesses to purchase health insurance, many at federally subsidized rates. The marketplace's web site also allows people to sign up for Medicaid, the health care program for the poor. As of February 8, 2014, 16,512 people had signed up for private health insurance through HealthSource RI, and 107 small businesses had enrolled 658 employees and dependents. An additional 35,821 people had signed up for Medicaid.[1] On February 4, 2015, Richard Salit of the Providence Journal wrote that 27,000 2014 enrollees may owe money to the IRS because they may have received too large of a subsidy.[2] BackgroundHealth insurance exchanges were established as a part of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act to enable individuals and businesses to purchase health insurance in state-run marketplaces.[3] Under this legislation, states could choose to establish their own health insurance exchanges; if they chose not to do so, the federal government runs one for the state.[3] References1. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.providencejournal.com/breaking-news/content/20140212-numbers-of-rhode-islanders-signing-up-for-medicaid-private-insurance-soar-healthsource-ri-says.ece |title=Numbers of Rhode Islanders signing up for Medicaid, private insurance soar, HealthSource RI says |date=February 12, 2014 |accessdate=February 15, 2014 |first=Felice J. |last=Freyer |newspaper=The Providence Journal}} 2. ^http://www.providencejournal.com/breaking-news/content/20150204-healthsource-ri-customers-may-wind-up-owing-the-irs.ece 3. ^1 {{cite web |url = http://www.informationweek.com/news/healthcare/policy/231001432 |title = HHS Proposes Health Insurance Exchange Rules |last = Lewis |first = Nicole |work = InformationWeek |date = July 12, 2011 |accessdate = November 16, 2012 |deadurl = yes |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20110714230134/http://www.informationweek.com/news/healthcare/policy/231001432 |archivedate = July 14, 2011 |df = }} External links{{Portal|Rhode Island}}
