Pennsylvania state officials say they're increasing the number of people on a hotline to help people apply for coverage under the 2010 federal health care law's Medicaid expansion.
A state Department of Human Services spokeswoman said that staffing through a call center contractor rose from 55 to about 130 on Thursday after receiving complaints that many people were not getting through to anyone.
Enrollment began Monday and spokeswoman Kait Gillis says the state received more than 11,500 household applications on Monday and Tuesday.
People can enroll online at http://ift.tt/1259hvF or by calling 866-550-4355 or by going into a county assistance office.
Coverage begins Jan. 1, and state officials say some 600,000 low-income adults are newly eligible, although some adults may have coverage already through other programs.
