• 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.

“The Congressional Budget Office says Obamacare needs at least 7 million customers to stay afloat financially”

all the irs needs now is to lean on/threaten those in the 20’s to sign up or else, and problem solved..

How many are reporters?

[henkster]

I get the feeling a lot of people are seeing the price tags on the exchanges, thought they were getting free or reduced costs, and just walking away.

They won’t be back, either.

MailOnline's sources are two Health and Human Services workers who have access to the data as it's crunched

This should keep the NSA employed, working to find the traitorous leaks.

The cost is a driver yes, but I believe a total FEAR of one’s personal data getting compromised is just as strong.

Hey, but they went far enough into the process for the Feds to know who they are. Haha!!

UK reporters have sources on the inside but the American media doesn’t? LOL!!! How embarrassing!

[RetroSexual]

Only 99.985% of the population to go....

[Diogenesis]

But at least 143 people (criminal illegals) signed up.

[NautiNurse]

MSM silence is nothing short of deliberate.

[freedom462]

That low? I would think out of over 300 million people you could get more than that to be part of experimental tests where they eat rat poison, just for the sheer novelty of it.

This is just awesome, if it can be verified as true.

And how many of the 51k are pending a credit check to determine if they can pay for Obungacare, it just keeps getting better.

God bless the UK press!

By my math, at this rate, the nation will be completely enrolled in 128 years.

How does the funding work? Isn’t it the insurers who are going to take it in the shorts if not enough people sign up? The people actually signing up are more likely to be all the ones with severe health problems who maybe couldn’t get good or cheap insurance before. Isn’t it the insurers who need the young, healthy people to sign up to defray the costs of coverage for the sick ones?

I thought the Obamacare subsidies were funded through the individual mandate tax, medical device tax and other taxes which all take place even if no one signs up.

[R_Kangel]

.... I wonder how many of these new signees are fake Twitter followers of the President and Vice President?

Hey, these are great numbers if you are selling tickets to a Tampa Bay Bucs game.
