Vermont: Nearly 26K QHPs to date, 84% renewals

Vermont Health Connect Open Enrollment and Renewal Update

The following numbers are up-to-date as of 11:59pm Thursday, December 11, 2014.

OK, so that's 25,867 total so far...of which 84% are renewals vs. 16% new enrollments.

I also can't resist including this rather, um, creative graphic representation of the numbers that the Vermont exchange has come up with:
