Will the Floridians who have enrolled for Obamacare please stand up?
Nearly two weeks after the federal government launched the online Health Insurance Marketplace at HealthCare.gov, individuals who have successfully used the choked-up website to enroll for a subsidized health insurance plan have reached a status akin to urban legend: Everyone has heard of them, but very few people have actually met one.
The Miami Herald searched high and low for individuals who completed enrollment for a subsidized health plan through the marketplace, also called an exchange, launched by the federal government on Oct. 1 in 36 states, including Florida.
The Herald solicited readers for stories of enrollees online and in the newspaper, and received a fair number of responses reflecting various degrees of success with HealthCare.gov, which has been plagued by technical problems that federal officials attribute to an overwhelming number of people trying to access the website at once.

Miami tv news was praising obamacare from day one.
Now, they’re ignoring this utter failure.
in fact, the Miami media (this article is an exception) generally ignore Obama’s multitude of failures and amplify his propaganda.
got media bias?
They open a website to enroll 3+ billion people and “the site wasn’t prepared for the type of use it was going to get”
then they say theyve hired “computer experts” to fix it...
whats wrong with the hiring competent IT people to BEGIN with?
You just know this will require:
more budget
more employees
more contractors
more consultants
I think Obama is melting.
I am betting that most are not enrolling but checking the stats to find out how much they might owe.
I might check the website myself. Good to educate myself.
Any website that requires my social security number and other very personal information is completely suspect. I am not going to eagerly hand this information over so maybe I wouldn’t get very far.

Alex Jones says it is a Trojan Horse.
Both explanations sound plausible.
God help us.
i think you need to check your numbers.
Obama’s ‘successes’ have to be counted using scientific notation, so small are the percentages.
Imploding is another word for it.
Help is on the way!
You might as well post all your info on Craigslist.
The world wonders!
Feel free
Yes, “God help us.”
