And, of course, voters need to know these numbers in order to evaluate the signature legislative achievement of this administration and the many members of Congress who will be standing for re-election come November.

BINGO - this is why it disappeared down the rabbit hole ... no surprise here.
Rs need to assert some numbers. Let the Ds prove them wrong.
No wait, that’s what the Ds would do to the Rs....
The commies became tired of making-up numbers.
You a crazy krakuh dude.
Why create enrollment reports which only create requests for documentation and FOIA requests???
Everything about the highly successful program is questioned and minutely examined.
What's the fun in that?
As Didi Amin said, we done had lotsa hearings, lots of them, and couldn't find a thing!
Let's move on, racist homophobe ageist sexist Tea Party fascists!!!
We live in Maryland and because Aetna did not want to participate in the ACA marketplace, they had to pull out of the individual market as well, and so my kids insurance was cancelled. All individual policies are now Obamacare... I refused to use the gubmint marketplace so we used ehealth to sign up with Bluecross. We loved our old insurance and it was reasonable... the new one is about the same price, but I have no idea what it will mean in terms of getting scripts filled etc.
Well, the reason things are going so miserably..ie they lost forms that Aetna had faxed over... is that by law, no insurance companies can spend more than 20% of their budget on ACA policy issues/maintenance. So they do not have enough employees to deal with the increased deluge and may not hire any additional employees as it would violate the 20% rule. This was explained to me over the phone... Super!
20% sounds like the MLR rate for individual underwritten business — Medical Loss Ratio applies to all lines of business not just aca. You can’t spend > 20% of premiums on admin http://www.cms.gov/CCIIO/Programs-and-Initiatives/Health-Insurance-Market-Reforms/Medical-Loss-Ratio.html. It sounds like aetna calculated that the back office support for aca would exceed 20%.
