Most of us enjoyed a 3, if not a 4 day holiday weekend celebrating our country's independence! Hopefully, your vacation brought you to a state where you actually had access to your beaches and were able to take in some safe sun and fun.
If you still have some time for summer reading, I would suggest digging into the New York State of Health (NYSOH)'s report on enrollment for 2017. For those that might not know, the NYSOH is the NY state exchange. While many states opted out of their own exchange and use healthcare.gov, NY decided to manage their own. The state was better off being able to manage and offer products that the federal exchange wasn't but the functionality of the NYSOH site is nowhere near the ease of the exchange site - I guess you can't have it all, after all.
3.6M New Yorkers get their coverage through the exchange - that is about 18% of the total population of NY. That does not include Medicare; those who get benefits through their employer or directly from a carrier with no subsidy.

Enjoy the read, and it is quite timely, as it will give you numbers to put behind the debate that is occurring now in Congress.
Thanks for this!
