Illinois ObamaCare Enrollment Statistics

Illinois is starting to realize that after 5 months of this unique 6 month open enrollment period, the state is coming in far short of it's goal.

Here's a good article from the Illinois "Watch Dog" organization. While reading it, keep in this key attrition statistic... Insure companies are reporting that 18% to 20% of those who "enroll" in private plans this year (i.e. place a plan in their shopping cart), never pay their first premium.

As members come across additional enrollment-related news and numbers going forward, by all means, please add that information to this thread.

I would have to think that BCBS benefits the most from this, in multiple ways

2014 Enrollment totals as of April 15th for Illinois

Private Plans = 217,000 (How Many Have Paid their Premium is Unknown)

Medicaid = 287,000 (Am surprised that it's higher than the Private Market!)

Source: More than 217, 000 from Illinois sign up for Obamacare - chicagotribune.com

Who are all these new Medicaid people going to see? There are only 6 Medicaid physicians in the NW Chicago suburbs, for example.
