This leaves about 15 thousand 500 who represent those who may be eligible but do not enroll in Health Insurance. And they might not enroll for any number of reasons, enrollment is complex, they may choose to pay the penalty rather than enroll in insurance, they may choose to pay the penalty rather than enroll in insurance, this group plus the 29 that are not already in sf path are the individuals we will have to focus our outreach efforts on.
