HHS head Sylvia Burwell:
""As we reduce the rate of the uninsured, there are fewer potential marketplace customers out there," Burwell said during a speech at Howard University Hospital in Washington. "Overall, the 2016 open enrollment is going to be tougher than last year.""

Her logic of diminishing returns makes sense. But the problem is the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) says that an aggregate of 21 million Americans will need to be on an ObamaCare plan by the end of 2016. As of today, we're at 10 million.

Quote of the day:
"A lot of agents [trying to enroll clients on HealthCare.gov] feel a little like Harry Potter when he was stuck under the stairs at his aunt and uncle's house. HHS has really failed to embrace agents and brokers as true partners. It's frustrating because there are tens of thousands of agents who go through training every year to get certified.... We're optimistic [about a new dedicated call center for brokers at HealthCare.gov] and hope for the best, but are also skeptical of the likely success of this initiative."
— Wesley Bissett, senior counsel for government affairs at the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America, told AIS's Inside Health Insurance Exchanges.
