Enrollment appears to be dictated in part by premiums. Pennsylvania, which charges one of the lowest rates in the program--$283 a month--has 1,657 enrollees, more than 20 percent of the nationwide total and 1,000 more than any other state. In Missouri, where premiums start at 50 percent higher than Pennsylvania and can top out at nearly $1,000 a month, only 101 residents have enrolled.
