Beleaguered Health Connector officials continue to chip away at the massive backlog of Bay Staters' applications for health insurance, but still won't say how much taxpayers will have to shell out to fix the state's entire Obamacare fiasco.
"We are working really hard to pull that together," said Sarah Iselin, the state's new temporary Obamacare czar, during a weekly conference call with reporters. "It's a complicated picture, but we'll begin reporting on that next week at the connector meeting."
Despite repeated inquiries from the Herald, state officials have said they don't yet know how much it's costing to place 62,000 Bay Staters on temporary insurance.
The good news for the Health Connector is that the total backlog of applications — once a staggering 72,000 — is now down to 43,000.
"That's a decrease of 40 percent in about three weeks," said Iselin.
She said the state is seeing an increasing interest in insurance, receiving about 2,000 applications a day, half on paper, the other half electronically.
It used to take staffers two hours to enroll each paper application — that figure is now down to 33 minutes.
Chaos and confusion have dogged the state Health Connector's woeful $69 million website since it launched on Oct. 1, frustrating users who have struggled to sign up for health insurance by key deadlines.
Adding insult to injury, the Herald reported this week that many Bay Staters are seeing astounding spikes in their health insurance premiums — some soaring as much as nearly $11,000 a year.
