For 31 days now, the Obama administration has been telling us that Americans by the millions are visiting the new health insurance website, despite all its problems.
But no one in the administration has been willing to tell us how many policies have been purchased, and this may be the reason: CBS News has learned the number is very small.
Early enrollment figures are contained in notes from twice-a-day "war room" meetings convened within the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services after the website failed on Oct. 1. They were turned over in response to a document request from the House Oversight Committee.
The website launched on a Tuesday. Publicly, the government said there were 4.7 million unique visits in the first 24 hours. But at a meeting Wednesday morning, the war room notes say "six enrollments have occurred so far."
They were with BlueCross BlueShield North Carolina and Kansas City, CareSource and Healthcare Service Corporation.
By Wednesday afternoon, enrollments were up to "approximately 100." By the end of Wednesday, the notes reflect "248 enrollments" nationwide.

THAT is a shock. I knew it would be small, but that is a colossal failure for Obama.

If republicans had forced Obama to adhere to the law by being a unified voice he would not have been able to delay the employer mandate illegally and Obamacare would be dead right now. People who get their insurance through there employer actually think that their employers will continue to maintain the costs of insurance rather than hand those costs off to the American taxpayer. Rude awakening coming for a lot of morons.

No wonder the heavy handed thugs are pressuring insurance officials to keep quiet.

SIX???????????????????????????? Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
To: kristinn; All
6 enrollments through Obamacare on day 1, but 1000s probably lost their health insurance on the same day notified that their insurance “Did not meet the requirements of the AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE ACT”
