• “Our enrollment was at 132,263 when the clock struck midnight and 2015 came to an end, which is a 16% increase from last year. We reported our numbers along with Medicaid enrollments in a press release Tuesday.
• We are redoubling efforts to enroll 2015 members of the Colorado HealthOP, as more than half of them have not yet made a 2016 plan selection. They have a special enrollment period running through February 29. So do members of Access Health Colorado and some members of Rocky Mountain Health Plans who are not within RMHP’s redrawn service area. The 60-day special enrollment period runs from December 31, the end of their former coverage.
• Colorado Consumer Health Initiative and Enroll America developed a new website that is the state’s one-stop-stop for health insurance literacy resources. 
• A recently released Kaiser Family Foundation/New York Times survey provides an in-depth look at the experiences of Americans ages 18-64 who say they or someone in their household had problems paying medical bills in the past year. The survey explores the causes of medical bill problems and the impacts they have on individuals and their families, finances, and access to health care.” [Source: Connect for Health Colorado]
