Nov 11 (Reuters) - President Barack Obama's healthcare reform has reached only about 3 percent of its enrollment target for 2014 in 12 U.S. states where new online health insurance marketplaces are mostly working smoothly, a report released on Monday said.

States with functioning exchanges have signed up 49,100 people compared with the 1.4 million people expected to be enrolled for 2014, according to the report by healthcare research and consultancy firm Avalere Health.

With enrollment in the federal HealthCare.gov website serving 36 states stalled by technical failures, the weak sign-ups for functioning insurance exchanges could be due to the administration's difficulty to promote the program as a success, Avalere said.

The government is due to release national enrollment figures for the month of October this week. Open enrollment ends March 31, 2014.

The 3% figure is for the states that run their own exchanges. The national numbers have not been reported.

The 49,100 enrollments also include Medicaid sign-ups in Hawaii and Rhode Island, which did not provide a break-out, Avalere said. It based its numbers on public and press reports for the above mentioned states as well as Connecticut, the District of Colombia, Kentucky, Maryland, Nevada, New York and Washington.

Look for lots of manipulation of the figures by the Dems.

In Washington State alone (figures for October):

Nov. 4 OLYMPIA, Wash. – Washington Healthplanfinder today announced more than 55,000 residents have enrolled in health coverage since Oct. 1. Since launch, more than 100,000 people in Washington State have either fully enrolled in new health coverage options or completed an application that is awaiting payment due in December.

Of the "more than 100,000 people", 48,000 are Medicaid, so a little less than half.
