Only 5 Iowans Have Signed Up For ObamaCare, Will Media Report?

With all eyes on how many people have actually signed up for ObamaCare, it will be interesting to see how honest the media will be concerning this matter if the numbers are disappointing.

For example, it was reported by Cedar Rapids, Iowa's ABC affiliate KCRG Wednesday that only five Iowans have actually been successful.

I have found 4 States reporting actual ENROLLMENTS in Obamacare. These are people who have selected a plan and signed on the dotted line and are committed to buying that plan. They are, at this point in time, few and far between.

Here are the 4 states that have reported:

Iowa 5
Kentucky 171
Maryland 326
Washington 916

A total of 1416 people.

That's about a weeks worth out of 4 states that have about 6.44% of the U.S. population. If the rest of the States actually had functional Exchange Systems (which most don't) you could project that a total of 1416/.0644 or 22,018 people would have signed up for Obamacare the first week. It is much less than that since most Exchanges are non-functional.

For future reference: The Obama Goal for Obamacare sign-ups per week is 269,231. The current sign-up rate is at best less than 10% of that goal. And, as noted above, that would be the sign-up rate for the first week if all systems were GO. And of course they are not.

Absolutely the best one liner that should be made into a bumper sticker. Heard this morning on Edd Hendee Show 700AM KSEV, Houston 6-9am CST. paraphrased))

Do you want a Government who punishes Americans during shutdown to Run Your HealthCare System !!??

can anyone top that ?!!?

Target is 269,231 per week.

I did the math. With 33 million people that will take over 122 weeks for it all to happen. There are only 11 weeks left in this year.

that is without any more problems with Obama’s system.

Obama’s goal for this year is “only” 7,000,000. That’s about 1/4 of the current uninsured population.

Nice to know most states have zero people signing up.

[Jack Hammer]

Will (Obama’s media - our de facto Ministry of Truth)report.

No, of course not.

[PA-RIVER]

All those years slugging it out in the private sector are paying off big for Obama.

You only get one roll out. What if he just had his best week?

[PA-RIVER]

This may sound funny,but maybe we dodged a bullet with Romney losing. I can picture him getting this pile of SHIT up and running with out a glitch.

Bump that.
