Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius today acknowledged that long-awaited enrollment figures for the rocky first month of Obamacare will be “very low.” …

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services also announced the abrupt retirement of the chief information officer—the first high-level departure since the botched HealthCare.gov launch on Oct 1. CIO Tony Trenkle is leaving Nov. 15 for a job in the private sector, CMS said. His deputy, Henry Chao, has been identified as a liaison to key contractors who built HealthCare.gov as well as the official who briefed the White House monthly on implementation. The CMS email sent to agency employees made no mention of the flawed rollout. …

Of course it is. Everyone is busy signing up for Medicaid in the Obamacare websites.

I am an agent.
Sold my FIRST Obamacare policy yesterday.
I sold it OFF the exchange.
To the newly wed life of a Doctor.
She had been on Medicaid.
I saved the taxpayers money.

I am not looking for these cases, the plans here suck!

I love that this was not the lead story: Abrupt retirement of the chief information officer.

If the people refuse to participate in the ACA (obozocare), which looks exactly like what is going to happen, I wonder what kind of pain the Adolf obozo will order/command be put on the people for essentially telling him and his government where to stick their tyrannical death control law.

She said the initial batch of enrollment figures being released next week cover “the first month of enrollment” and will include both Medicaid and health plan numbers in the new insurance exchanges.

If she mixes the numbers together it'll be one more way to lie... from an Administration that's known for lying. She needs to present the truth: this number of "health insurance' sign ups - this number of medicaid sign ups...

How long will we have to wait for this thing to be declared a mistake? How long will it take for all the insurance companies to walk away? I heard that 7 million were need to be enrolled by March 1 2014, and another source said that the insurance companies will state to walk away around April 15 2014.

Has anyone heard by what date?, what numbers are needed? so this nightmare can truly ends? If the politicians won't end it maybe the free market can end it.

Limbo Rock
Chubby Checker

Every limbo boy and girl
All around the limbo world
Gonna do the limbo rock
All around the limbo clock
Jack be limbo, Jack be quick
Jack go unda limbo stick
All around the limbo clock
Hey, let’s do the limbo rock

Limbo lower now
Limbo lower now
How low can you go

First you spread your limbo feet
Then you move to limbo beat
Limbo ankolimboneee,
Bend back like a limbo tree
Jack be limbo, Jack be quick
Jack go unda limbo stick
All around the limbo clock
Hey, let’s do the limbo rock

Get yourself a limbo girl
Give that chick a limbo whirl
There’s a limbo moon above
You will fall in limbo love
Jack be limbo, Jack be quick
Jack go unda limbo stick
All around the limbo clock
Hey, let’s do the limbo rock

Don’t move that limbo bar
You’ll be a limbo star
How low can you go

People no longer want to go to that site. They are afraid of identity theft, and theft from their pocket by the Obama Stasi admin.

I mean really, who would sign up when felons are taking a person’s personal info?

And that is how they will keep presenting the ‘numbers’.
They need to separate them or there is no true picture.
