You’re not factoring the fact many got their Basic Health & CHP plans cancelled 01/01/2014. Those subscribers went someplace...the subsidies are very generous if you are in the target group I’ve been told.

I just looked up the medicaid numbers. Since October the number of Medicaid enrollees under the old guidelines (that WA state has to pay for) is 134,000. That is roughly ten percent of the Medicaid population for the state. I'm sure the state will be able to handle an extra 10%.....

Those covered under the expanded Medicaid, paid for mostly by the federal government, is 270,000. All told that means Medicaid has gotten more enrollees than insurance programs, in and out of the exchange, combined.
