Obamacare enrollments got off to very slow start, documents show

(CBS News) WASHINGTON - 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 enrollments got off to an incredibly slow start.

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."

“Slow” and huge centralized government go hand in hand.

I hope this backlashes bad.

I would be curious to know the circumstances of the six. It would be curious if they were all technicians at the data-processing center or had some inside help.

Of course, this would make a great thriller movie...”Six Against the World”, and lay out the entire day activity of the six from sun-up to sun-down, and how they fought against the ‘machine’....to get to the final goal.

As the deadline approaches people are going to realize one thing; they still won’t be able to afford Obamacare. People don’t have the money for it. It will mean sacrificing something, like their homes, or their cars, defaulting on student loans, or other credit card debt. The deadline will come and go, and they still won’t choose healthcare. Fine away.

I am a 40 year business man and I talk with customers every day. We are in a depression and people know it and they are not just scrimping any longer... they no longer have the money to do anything without budgeting for it and many go without. WE ARE IN A DEPRESSION!

You are absolutely correct and Rush is saying that they are already blaming the republicans for the food stamp program reverting to its normal level of funding.

Which is why they time the release for after the election.

Tennesseans have a chance to vote out sen lamar alexander RINO, and install conservative state legislator Joe Carr, both TN Eagle Forum approved, NRA, and pro life, and Tea Party backed.
