Good grief. I leave town for just 4 days (and I didn't really even leave town...I live in a suburb of Detroit) and look at the flood of ACA-related news which rolls in...
THIS is why I'm not too worried about the initial 2015 rate requests
Introducing the ACA Signups Facebook Page (just 9 months late...)
Arizona: ACA-enabled Medicaid up to 192K, 41% of total eligible
Colorado: QHPs up to 137K as of 6/30 (down a bit from prior estimate)
Maryland: QHPs up to 75K...but they'll have to re-enroll this fall
Montana: Uninsured rate drops by 15% (from 195K)
Wisconsin: Good News: Medicaid enrollment up 97K! Bad News: 38K kicked off of Medicaid!
Guam, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, the USVI & NMI are off the ACA hook
Hawaii: Hmmm...QHPs back UP by 233 people...
Minnesota: QHP enrollments back up from their low, still not up to June rate
Wisconsin: How to calculate the QHP total as of 6/1 without having that actual number
Oregon: Latest numbers confirm it: My freakout last week was premature; gross QHPs back up to 200/day
Washington State: ACA drops uninsured rate by 40%, from 970K down to 600K
How accurate is that 2-3% attrition rate estimate, anyway??
