Completed applications/redeterminations processed through the integrated eligibility system: 37,734
It's my understanding that "Acquisition Summary" refers to CT residents who are brand-new enrollees (never enrolled via the exchange before).
The 117.5K figure includes auto-renewals being piled on top of the new/active renewal tally.
By comparison, last year Access Health CT reported enrolling 101,793 people through December 15th (one extra day since Nov. 1st fell on a Tuesday last year); this also included auto-renewals:
2023: 101,793 in 45 days (2,262/day)
2024: 117,516 in 44 days (2,671/day)
In other words, Connect's ACA exchange has enrolled 18% more people per day so far.

Belgrade, MAINE – During a visit to Belgrade Regional Health Center today, Governor Mills reminded Maine residents who lack affordable health coverage that Friday, December 15, 2023, is the deadline to sign up through CoverME.gov, Maine’s health insurance marketplace, for an affordable health plan that starts at the beginning of the new year.

Consumers who enroll after Friday’s deadline will miss coverage for January 2024 but – if they sign up by January 16 – will qualify for health insurance that takes effect on February 1, 2024.

It's my understanding that "Acquisition Summary" refers to CT residents who are brand-new enrollees (never enrolled via the exchange before).
The 106.4K figure includes auto-renewals being piled on top of the new/active renewal tally.
By comparison, last year Access Health CT reported enrolling 93,479 people through December 8th (one extra day since Nov. 1st fell on a Tuesday last year); this also included auto-renewals:
2023: 93,479 in 38 days (2,460/day)
2024: 106,415 in 37 days (2,876/day)
In other words, Connect's ACA exchange has enrolled 16.9% more people per day so far.
As I noted in the prior entry, QHP enrollment is running ahead of last year so far in 45 states so far, with it running more than 50% higher in over a dozen of them and more than twice as high in Mississippi.
Another way of looking at this is to compare the confirmed current QHP enrollment in every state as of the most recent data (12/02/23 for HC.gov states; 11/25/23 for SBM states) against the final total QHP enrollment as of the end of the 2023 Open Enrollment Period.
This is obviously isn't a fair comparison since there's still a full 40 days left for people to enroll and because auto-renewals still have to be added to the federal exchange states. However, it's still interesting to take a look.
For the SBM states, I've included their auto-renewals as reported in either the CMS snapshot report or, in a few cases, even more recent combined enrollment data from the SBMs themselves.
BeWell NM, New Mexico's state-based ACA exchange, has launched a very handy new Enrollment Data portal which includes plenty of info for a data hound like myself to pore over. The initial 2024 Open Enrollment Period numbers are impressive...but also a bit misleading if you don't know how the exchange enters data.
First, the top line numbers (as of 12/05/23):
Number of enrolled consumers: 48,968
Consumers enrolled in Medical coverage: 48,327
Consumers enrolled in Dental coverage: 11,821
While dental coverage is also important, standalone dental plans aren't considered Qualified Health Plans (QHPs); it's the "Medical Coverage" which is the key number here.
Also, the total number above may look confusing, but most of the Medical & Dental coverage enrollees overlap:
