Massachusetts continues to kick butt: Up 5.2% year over year, all-time record shattered w/3 weeks to go!

Yeesh...when it rains, it pours! Right on top of updated and/or final 2019 Open Enrollment numbers 41 states (Idaho, Rhode Island and the 39 states hosted by HealthCare.Gov) comes yet another updated tally from Massachusetts:

As of today:

• 274,317 enrollments for January
• 2,997 enrollments for February or March
• 3,763 plans selected (1st premium not paid but not due yet)
• 281,077 total

Retention rate is 91 percent, up 2.6 percent from last year.

The total is only 252 higher than their last update as of December 17th, but that's not surprising considering that we had both Christmas and New Year's in between. Again, MA has managed to improve their enrollment number every year for 5 years straight, an impressive feat indeed!

Again, Massachusetts' total from last year was 267,260 QHP selections, which means they're now 5.2% ahead of last year's final number...with 3 weeks left to go!
