For competitive reasons, the company declined to provide actual search numbers.
But the total number of searches using the keyword "reform" has jumped more than 100 percent in the past year, managers said.
The number of searches involving references to pre-existing conditions climbed 150 percent over that same period.
About 60 percent of the site's reform-related traffic has something to do with the new subsidies.
