Here's how many Maryland health exchange enrollees have dropped or lost coverage

About 20 percent of people who signed up for health insurance through Maryland Health Connection for 2014 dropped their coverage over the course of the year.

More than 81,000 people signed up for private health plans through the state's online insurance exchange during its last open enrollment season. About 66,000 of them still have their plans, meaning about 15,000 people no longer have their original plan for one reason or another.

Carolyn Quattrocki, the exchange's executive director, discussed enrollment numbers during a conference call with reporters to promote the exchange's 2015 open enrollment period, which ends Feb. 15. People who want their coverage to start Jan. 1 need to sign up by Dec. 18.
