Obamacare enrollment held steady in its second week thanks to a majority of people re-enrolling in their plans.

About 534,778 signed up for Obamacare using healthcare.gov, which residents in more than 30 states use to get health coverage. That number is about the same as last week's initial total, and brings the total number of enrollees to nearly 1.1 million.

For the second week in a row, a majority of those enrollees were consumers renewing their coverage.
