This guy knew when Obamacare enrollment would hit 5M before anyone else. Now he’s predicting 6.2M.

"SNIP...................


The Obama administration on Monday announced that 5 million people had signed up for Obamacare exchange plans. Hours earlier, a self-employed Web developer from Michigan had already predicted the milestone would be hit on Monday.

Meet Charles Gaba: He’s not a professional statistician, heath-care expert or political operative. He’s a self-described “numbers geek” who just wants to know how the new health-care law is doing.

He’s been tracking the most up-to-date enrollment information and offering his own projections on his blog, ACAsignups.net. On the same day that he predicted the 5 million signups milestone, he accurately predicted that California would hit the 1 million mark. For policy wonks and health-care journalists who have clamored for more information about Obamacare enrollment, Gaba’s blog has become a must-read.

His next big prediction: The final sign-up tally will hit 6.22 million.

5. Interesting number.

Because roughly 20% of those signing up are not making payments the actual number of people gaining coverage through healthcare.gov would be almost exactly 5 million (if that 6.22 prediction is correct).



That would be enough to make the new law work. Of course we won't really know until next year. Even so, that is a good number.
