6 enrollments on federal exchange

(CBS News) WASHINGTON - For 31 days now, the Obama administration has been telling us that Americans by the millions are visiting the new health insurance website, despite all its problems.

The website launched on a Tuesday. Publicly, the government said there were 4.7 million unique visits in the first 24 hours. But at a meeting Wednesday morning, the war room notes say "six enrollments have occurred so far."

They were with BlueCross BlueShield North Carolina and Kansas City, CareSource and Healthcare Service Corporation.

By Wednesday afternoon, enrollments were up to "approximately 100." By the end of Wednesday, the notes reflect "248 enrollments" nationwide.

the health care exchanges need to average 39,000 enrollees a day to meet the goal of seven million by March 1. The war room notes give a glimpse into some of the reasons customers had problems

Obamacare enrollments got off to very slow start, documents show - CBS News

this is why HHS refuses to tell us enrollment numbers they are pathetic they are next to nothing
they need 7 million to sign up to keep insurance cost what is being offered now, because the 7 million is the figure given to insurance companies so to set a price on their plans. if they don't meet the 7 million goal rates will have to be increased so less will sign up or drop out and cause the rates to go up again and what you will have is called a health insurance death spiral

Not everyone who visits Amazon makes a purchase... Most are just browsing...


I would almost be willing to bet that most of those "unique visits" occurred after reports of the "glitches" (that alone is bullshit... Eddie Bauer dot com sends me the wrong size or color, that's a "glitch," what we've seen with the ACA website is a full scale cluster fuck...) and consisted of people wanting to see it for themselves.


Unique hits does not a success make.
