"At least five states provide such statistics on their own enrollees, showing that the numbers are, or ought to be, generally obtainable.
A quarterly report published Wednesday by HHS announced that 'to date, 3.3 million persons have selected a Marketplace plan during the first four months of the initial open enrollment period, including 1.4 million in SBMs [state-based marketplaces] and 1.9 million in the FFM [federally facilitated marketplace].'
But HHS conceded that its numbers 'include those who have paid a premium and those who have not yet paid a premium, regardless of when their coverage begins.'
'Enrollment is measured as those who selected a plan,' an HHS press release confirms.
Similar disclaimers are offered some 20 times in the HHS report, both in its text and in accompanying graphs.
The White House did not respond to a request for comment."
