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'

How many actually enrolled and PAID money rather than signing up for Medicaid? Ten? Twenty?

Zero likens his rollout of Obozocare to Apple new product launches - let's see Apple sold how many MILLION phones a couple of weeks back. I have to assume those phones were registered and connected successfully by the PRIVATE SECTOR PROFIT MAKING CAPITALISTIC CORPORATIONS INVOLVED.

AND he wants the Gov to take over 1/6 of our economy. This buffoon is way beyond a disgrace for America.

I heard on the radio today the figures for how much money has already been paid to the Canadian software firm that has the contract for the Obamacare implementation. An obscenely large number in the hundreds of millions - far more by a huge factor than it would have cost to just pay for gold medical insurance for every single uninsured person in the U.S. And why a Canadian company? This Obamacare fiasco makes the classic government purchased thousand dollar ashtray seem responsible spending. Obama is working hard to empty the U.S. treasury and send the money overseas and down the drain.

Amazing how this British paper consistently gets qualityb information BEFORE the US rags do.

This is why the commie ‘RATS are so desperate to pass their amnesty for illegal alien criminals bill. They need ObamaCarees and more low to no information voters before the 2014 “election” fiasco.

I don’t believe 51,000. It sounds too high.

I cannot imagine logging onto a federal government site and giving them any real personal information.
