The obligatory update. Assuming around 8,000 off-season QHP* selections per day nationally (which was recently confirmed by CMS...even higher than the 7,500/day I had previously been estimating), the grand total should be crossing the 13.5 million mark sometime this holiday weekend if it hasn't already.
This won't likely have any impact on the currently effectuated number of course, which is likely still hovering around the 10.4 million mark, but it's still an important symbolic milestone to achieve.
*(Note: QHP = Qualified Health Plan, aka private, ACA-compliant healthcare policies)
