The figures include 146,000 enrolled through the Washington Health Benefit Exchange‘s Healthplanfinder, and 178,891 enrolled outside the exchange.

that 178,891 outside the exchange number looks a lot like the Medicaid numbers.........would like to know where that 178k is coming from. Not going to hold my breath.

One thing is certain, there are more new Medicaid enrollees in the state than exchange users.

Another little tidbit from the source article was that the insurance commissioner’s office predicted 30,000 new Medicaid enrollees under expanded guidelines. It was more than double that in the first month and there were 60,000 new enrollees under the old Medicaid guidelines. All this happened, but thiis blog is still using deceptively low predictions that are totally out of date.
