So as Open Enrollment '19 kicked off yesterday, lots of folks checking out the new plans and (of course) higher rates. Our friend Rich Weinstein offers this helpful factoid that may give us a hint of things to come this time 'round:
Has anyone noticed there's only abt 10m enrolled in exchanges & the (2013) baseline estimate is about triple that?— Rich Weinstein (@phillyrich1) October 31, 2018
I know 8m were to be screwed out of ESI & sent to HIX via Cadillac Tax. But that still leaves an additional 10m shortfall.
