Is this possible? The Wonkblog site shows zero accounts created so far for California, Nevada, Connecticut, Kentucky, Maryland, New York, and Washington.

The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead ^ | October 22, 2013 | Kyle Potter, INFORUM
FARGO – The Obama administration asked North Dakota’s largest health insurer not to publicize how many people have signed up for health insurance through a new online exchange, a company official says. During a Monday forum in Fargo for people interested in signing up for coverage via the exchange, James Nichol of Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota told the crowd his company received the request from the federal government earlier Monday. Nichol is a consumer sales manager for the company. Still, a spokeswoman from Blue Cross Blue Shield says about 14 North Dakotans have signed up for coverage...

In Some States, Most Early Marketplace Enrollees Qualify For Medicaid
Tue 22 Oct 2013 02:46:52 PM PDT · by Oldeconomybuyer · 4 replies

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3082207/posts

Kaiser Health News ^ | October 22, 2013 | By Phil Galewitz
In several states, most of the people enrolling through new online insurance marketplaces are signing on to Medicaid, the state-federal health insurance program for the poor. The reason? Many of the uninsured are poor, and applicants don’t have to pay anything to sign up for Medicaid. Shoppers applying for private health coverage through the marketplace have to pay their first monthly premium before they are fully enrolled. Their first payment must be made by Dec. 15 for coverage to take effect Jan. 1. About 30,000 of the more than 35,000 people enrolled in the Washington exchange have signed up for...

Hot Air ^ | October 25, 2013 | Ed Morrissey
Just a friendly reminder that ObamaCare problems aren’t just limited to the federal exchange. In Oregon, the state-run exchange has yet to enroll even one person yet, and no one is really sure when that will change: Officials for Oregon’s health insurance exchange on Thursday reported some progress, but acknowledged a major fix to the problem-plagued site may not happen this month as hoped.The website still has not enrolled anyone. Earlier this month officials at Cover Oregon said they expected the site to let insurance agents and certified application assisters to enroll people by Halloween. Spokesman Michael Cox said that...

At this time there’s probably only about 200k obamacare signups. But more than 3 or 400k people have been notified that their insurance is now cancelled due to Obamacare. That means it’s a net negative number of Americans who have signed up for Obamacare at this time.

**SNIP**

Nearly 800,000 New Jersey residents’ health-care plans will not longer exist in 2014, forcing insurers to create new ones for individuals and small business owners that hew to the Obamacare’s new regulations, The New Jersey Star Ledger found in early October.

“I don’t feel like I need to change, but I have to,” Jeff Learned, a television editor in Los Angeles, told Kaiser Health News. Learned now needs to scramble to find a plan to coverage his teenage daughter, whose health problems have required several surgeries.

More Americans have lost their individual health coverage in Florida and California than have gotten past the login screen on HealthCare.gov, according to The Washington Post, which reports that 476,000 applications have “been started,” but not completed. HealthCare.gov’s dysfunctional website has helped enrollment grind to almost a complete halt. (RELATED: HealthCare.gov contractor: We had only two weeks to test site)

At Current Pace, Admin’s Estimate of 7 Mil. Enrollees in ObamaCare Would Take Until 5209

The President has made many faulty promises over the last few years. Often times, they were proved to be outright lies, such as, “If you like your healthcare, you can keep it under my plan.” Well, Mr. Obama has done it again. Concerning his signature legislation, the Affordable Care Act, President Obama projected that, by March 1, 2014, about 7,000,000 people would enroll through healthcare.gov.

To reach the Administration’s low-end estimate of seven million enrollees by March, 39,000 people have to join ObamaCare per day. The number that actually enrolled? Six.

In first month, the vast majority of Obamacare sign-ups are in Medicaid (9 out of 10)

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3086641/posts

The Washington Post ^ | November 1, 2013 | Sarah Kliff
The first month of the new health law’s rollout reveals an unexpected pattern in several states: a crush of people applying for an expansion of Medicaid and a trickle of sign-ups for private insurance. This early imbalance — in some places, nine out of 10 enrollees are in Medicaid — has taken some experts by surprise. The Affordable Care Act, which expanded Medicaid to cover millions of the poorest Americans who couldn’t otherwise afford coverage, envisions a more even split with an expanded, robust private market. “When we first saw the numbers, everyone’s eyes kind of bugged out,” said Matt...

BC/BS, N.C.: Only one person has enrolled through the fed exchange, and he hasn’t actually paid yet

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

The public’s problems in trying to deal with the troubled Health Insurance Marketplace website aren’t the only problems plaguing the system. WNCN Investigates learned the state’s largest insurer has experienced a number of problems with the system

Blue Cross Blue Shield has more than 3.7 million customers in our state, but internal emails obtained by WNCN show that as of last Friday, only one person had enrolled for health insurance through the Exchange and that person hasn’t paid.
