5,000 were not Medicaid enrollees. They enrolled in policies on the state exchange.

Too proud for Medicaid?

Ms. Cauley thought for a moment and offered an alternative: Kay could sign up for Medicaid, but only use it in catastrophic events. For checkups and other routine care, Kay could pay her own way, perhaps negotiating a discount with her doctors.

“You’re giving me an alternative I can live with,” Kay said.

Ms. Cauley gave her a card and told her to call when she was ready to sign up. “At least it’s there in case you need it,” she told her. “Isn’t that what insurance is for?”
