The enrollment outside of the typical "open enrollment period", can correspond to a "life change", as in someone turning 65, and that is continually happening year round (with the threat of a "use (sign up) or lose" if you don't apply on time and end up with a penalty! You might also have someone over 65 and still working, who switches jobs and the coverage changes, etc.
