Slow enrollments will also produce rate shock - but when this is cleared up, there will still be millions who need to enroll, and it will take time for them to get in and to show up in claims data. They'd be better off using June, honestly.

And we already have HUGE rate shock - we don't need to have an artificially short period generating more.
