Massachusetts Health Connector launches nifty new enrollment dashboard

So, this morning I learned that the Massachusetts Health Connector has recently launched a very handy Tableau-based enrollment dashboard which looks similar to the one rolled out by the New Mexico exchange awhile back.

This is very helpful for data hounds like myself, and I'll be consulting it regularly in the future.

In addition to displaying the latest enrollment data by various criteria, the MA dashboard also provides data from prior weeks, which means I can look for trend lines:

Total QHPs (ConnectorCare + Std. QHPs combined):

• 12/14/25: 361,541
• 12/21/25: 361,192
• 12/28/25: 371,453
• 01/04/26: 368,436
• 01/11/26: 372,971

What's noteworthy about this is that yesterday's CMS report had Massachusetts down as having 382,580 QHP selections total as of 12/27/25...which is over 11,000 higher than what the MA Connector had it at as of a day later.

I'm assuming this discrepancy has to do with the MA exchange only counting effectuated enrollments (ie, people who have actually paid their first monthly premium).

Anyway, unlike most states, it looks like Massachusetts had a slight drop-off over the New Year's shift but has since canceled that out and enrollment is slightly higher than it was a couple of weeks ago.

The dashboard also has a unique look at how much net premiums have increased for enrollees earning less than 100% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) due to the Trump Regime stripping away subsidy eligibility for documented immigrants who have been living in the United States for less than five years (and are thus ineligible for Medicaid):

• In 2025, there were 37,000 MA residents earning less than 100% FPL who paid an average of just $3.05/month for ACA healthcare coverage

• In 2026, ~10,000 of them dropped out of the ACA exchange market entirely

• The remaining ~27,000 saw their net premiums jump from $3.05/month to a whopping $433/month on average...which they obviously can't afford seeing how that's up to 33% of their total gross income

The dashboard also gives details on enrollees who earn between 400 - 500% FPL and those over 500% FPL:

• In 2025, there were 19,216 enrollees between 400-500% FPL paying an avg. of $319/mo.

• 16,144 of them re-enrolled and saw their net premiums jump to $486/mo (up 52%)

• In 2025, there were 8,103 enrollees earning over 500% FPL, paying an avg. of $461/mo
• 7,154 of them re-enrolled and saw their net premiums jump to $634/mo (up 38%)

Anyway, this is a useful tool I'll be checking on frequently.
