๐ฃ Update: #ACA SEP enrollment via the 36 HC.gov states 2.8x higher than for the same period last year (pre-#AmRescuePlan) and 3.7x higher than in 2019 (pre-COVID).
๐ฃ Update: Middle-class enrollees (>400% FPL) jumped from 2% of #ACA exchange enrollees to 7% thanks to the #AmRescuePlan's subsidy expansion.
Existing #ACA exchange enrollees are saving an additional $67/month apiece thanks to the #AmRescuePlan
๐ฃ Update: SEP enrollment in HC.gov Medicaid expansion states was 2.6x higher than in 2019...but in NON-expansion states, it's a whopping *4.3x higher*.
๐ฃ Update: The good news is over 208,000 people took advantage of the #AmRescuePlan's Unemployment Benefit provision across the 36 HCgov states (likely ~283K nationally).
The bad news is only ~34,000 #MedicaidGap residents took advantage of it, far fewer than I had hoped.
๐ฃ UPDATE: Across the 35 HCgov states, over 8 million *current* #ACA enrollees are receiving over $537 million in additional savings each month, or ~$6.4 billion collectively for 2021. This likely translates into ~$730M/mo or ~$8.7 billion for the year nationally. #ThanksBiden!
๐ฃ Final Update before I move to a separate analysis post: EFFECTUATED August 2021 #ACA exchange enrollment was over 25% higher than August 2019 & 15% higher than August 2020...an all-time record! acasignups.net/21/09/15/boom-โฆ

โ ๏ธ Annnnnnnd there it is: COVID death rate by county since 6/30/21 by Trump 2020 vote, now including Florida, updated as of 9/15/21.
Note that besides Nebraska, this doesnโt include several thousand deaths whose county of residence is unknown. Also, some of Floridaโs deaths to date still wonโt show up for another couple of weeks.
FWIW, the death rate in the reddest bracket is 8.2x higher than in the bluest bracket. Of course, there's only a tiny number of people living in either of those, so it's probably more representative to look at the 5.5x ratio between the 80-90 & 10-20 brackets.

Middle-class enrollees (>400% FPL income) jumped from 2% of #ACA exchange enrollees to 7% thanks to the #AmRescuePlan's subsidy expansion.

Huh. @goldsteinamy must've gotten an embargoed copy of the final SEP enrollment report because it's still not posted at CMS *or* HHS *or* the ASPE site...but President Biden's statement on the report *is* live at WH.gov: whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/โฆ
FWIW, it looks like I was off by around ~60K enrollees nationally, although I'll have to see the report itself to be sure ("2.8 million" could easily be rounded up or down by several tens of thousands): acasignups.net/21/08/10/cms-mโฆ
๐ฃ NEW: Assuming I have the correct, newly-released county-level data for FLORIDA now, here's the COVID death rate by county for every state except Nebraska since 6/30/21 broken out by Trump 2020 vote:
--CAVEAT: There's some confusion about whether the newly-released Florida data is accurate or not; this article links to the site of a FL epidemiologist named Jason Salemi, but Twitter *won't let his site be linked to*, so... orlandosentinel.com/coronavirus/osโฆ
