No One Signs Up for ObamaCare in Sebelius' Own State of Kansas

The woman who is behind the controls of ObamaCare was unable to convince even one person from Kansas, the state she used to govern, to sign up for it.

Though HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is the former governor of Kansas, Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-KS) was informed by an insurance provider in his home state that none of the 365,000 uninsured people living there successfully signed up for insurance on the ObamaCare exchange on the first day.

GOP Congressman: No Kansans signed up for Obamacare on first day - October 03, 2013

“My office recently spoke with one of the insurers in Kansas who told us that not one, not one, of the 365,000 uninsured Kansans successfully signed up for insurance on the Obamacare exchanges the first day,” Huelskamp, who himself tried and failed to enroll in the program on Tuesday, said on the House floor.

Huelskamp described his struggles with the online system, and said he had still been on “hold” with the system for 60 hours.

“Error message after error message. Failed security standards and 60 hours on website hold for just this one Kansan. It is clear, Obamacare is failing — an embarrassment, particularly for the former Kansas governor who is now in charge of Obamacare,” Huelskamp said.

I have been an agent for 30 years.
I took the “Exchange Agent” training but only so I could understand it all.
I deal, primarily, with the Medicare crowd, but I do have to help spouses and “under 65” with insurance issues at times.
I feel bad for the agents who agreed to run booths at retail stores, for this stuff, thinking they would get rich at it. I knew it would not open smoothly.
I will be forced to sell a few of these policies but I am telling everyone that can stay on group, or move to Medicare, to do so.

So far that’s zero signups in California, Kansas, Louisiana. I wonder how many others?

Having zero signups /obviously/ overwhelmed the obamacare IT system...

I just figured out why the computers won’t handle the traffic. All of the large servers are in use by the NSA.

It is all a false lie. The media was very quick to announce the popularity crashed the system. Phhhttt. I call BullShiite

America hates this law and Obama is trying to show it is popular.

Matt Drudge gets more hits by the hour.

Bend-over liberals. Backwards if you think it helps.

You’re right.

The Propaganda Ministry is going to have a hard time keeping up the spin.

On tonight’s Hannity, Ainsley Earnhardt couldn’t get past the home page in any of the states she tried. I’m half way through the show, and she’s tried 6 states.

Did anyone see Hannity tonight? He went after Congressman Bill Pascrell (D) from New Jersey, calling him out on the72% U.S subsidy that the American people don’t get. Sean called him a liar, he was full of ‘crap’, even bet hem $10 thousand dollars to his favorite charity, which the good congressman refused because he knew he was lying to the American people. Sean was better tonight than I have ever seen him.

None of it matters. Understand the narrative.

It is so damn good, uninsured folks have crashed the servers.

Yes, they know their constituency, and they believe it.

A video that mocked muhammad caused the low sign up count.

-— Sean was better tonight than I have ever seen him. -—

That was as good, or better, than O’Reilly trashing Barney Frank.

No one in DC ever uses the L-word, and Hannity did not back off. Loved it.

When it’s on YouTube, it has to be posted.

Right. The first thing he asked Hannity was, "How's your family?"

Hannity seemed taken aback.

Looking at it now and seeing the almost murderous hostility he showed to Hannity, I think it was a veiled threat...
