📣 How many *additional* #ACA enrollees are signing up during the ongoing #COVID19 Enrollment Period? If @HealthSherpas data so far is indicative, quite a few:

Using their Week 1 data, it seems likely that between 160K - 250K people enrolled in #ACA exchange plans nationally from 2/15 - 2/21. Assuming that's accurate *and* the pace holds steady for the full 3-mo period (unlikely), the potential ceiling would be 2.1 - 3.3 million.
Normally you'd expect around 700,000 people to enroll via traditional Special Enrollment Periods nationally during that same period, so that would mean 1.4 - 2.6 million *more* enrollees than you'd normally expect without a COVID SEP.
For comparison, my own rough projection from last month was that perhaps 400K - 600K additional enrollees would sign up during a COVID-specific SEP.
Note that none of this accounts for the potential #AmRescuePlan subsidy enhancements.

In any event, *if* @CMSGov issues a "Week 1 Snapshot Report" this week like they do during the official Open Enrollment Period, I'd expect enrollment *via HealthCare.Gov* to come in somewhere between 98K - 154K from 2/15 - 2/20 (CMS runs "weeks" from Sunday - Saturday).
