- Obamacare's main signup engine attracted just 6,200 new customers on its launch day and 51,000 after the first week
- At the same rate, the 6-month open enrollment period would sign up just 2 million Americans, including 14 states and D.C., which have their own insurance exchanges
- The Congressional Budget Office says Obamacare needs at least 7 million customers to stay afloat financially
- Numerous Obama administration officials have denied seeing any enrollment figures at all
- MailOnline's sources are two Health and Human Services workers who have access to the data as it's crunched
- Texas congressman says anemic national enrollment numbers are 'roughly the population of a small town in my district'
Just 51,000 people completed Obamacare applications during the first week the Healthcare.gov website was online, according to two sources inside the Department of Health and Human Services who gave MailOnline an exclusive look at the earliest enrollment numbers.
The career civil servants, who process data inside the agency, confirmed independently that just 6,200 Americans applied for health insurance through the problem-plagued website on October 1, the day it first opened to the public.

There are also problems on the back end.
Even if you do get enrolled at the government/state sites, you may not be covered. Many insurance providers are complaining that the overnight batch transfers of data from the healthcare sites to them have data missing, data incorrect, data incomplete, etc. for the enrollees.
So, the providers are not entering the enrollees into their systems ...

So 6200 people crashed the system?
BS
The Obama Administration is sand bagging the web site so people can't find out how astronomical the costs are going to be .
They want to keep that little secret to themselves until after ObamaCare has been funded by Congress and the budget deal is finished
