Less Than 1% of Visitors to Connecticut Healthcare Exchange Signed Up, Will Media Care?

As the Obama-loving media echo White House talking points that opening day "glitches" at online healthcare exchanges crashed Tuesday due to a flood of interested Americans clamoring for insurance, they might consider what happened in Connecticut.

According to Congressman Jim Himes (D-Conn.), out of the 28,000 visitors to his state's exchange Tuesday, only 167 actually signed up

For those that can do math, that means 0.6 percent of visitors actually applied for insurance.

Does anyone know if those who signed up had to pay anything?

The result of obamacare:

Higher unemployment
Higher premiums
Higher co-pays
Higher deductibles
Higher healthcare costs
Less Doctors

So I guess people who don’t have one can’t get ObamaCare.

Perhaps you missed this:

The helpline, 800-318-2596, is available 24/7 and can provide assistance in 150 languages.

Also they can visit an SEIU "navigator" in person and sign up.

So you have to have a computer, or at least access to one, to sign up for “free health care”, but heaven forbid you should have to have an ID to vote.

I am waiting for the sheeple to start complaining about the fact that their free health care isn’t really free. IIRC, on Tuesday, some woman on FOX News said that the penalty for not obtaining insurance increases from $95 per year to $695 per year, PER adult. Oh, that is to opt out - you still have no health insurance.

I did miss it.

And they offer you a free Obamaphone, too, I understand.

Okay now we will try the landline # 1-800-318-2596 listed above or 1-800-318-2596 = 1-800-FAU-CKYO.
