HHS reports 106,000 have picked health plans through ObamaCare exchanges
FOX NEWS ^ | 11/13/2013

The Department of Health and Human Services reported Wednesday that more than 100,000 people have selected a health care plan through the ObamaCare exchanges -- a number that, likely due to widespread website failures, falls far short of the administration's goal.

The administration had originally hoped to sign up a half-million people in the first month of open enrollment. Now more than six weeks into the troubled launch of HealthCare.gov and other state-based exchanges, HHS announced Wednesday that 106,185 people had selected a plan as of Nov. 2. And just 27,000 did so via the federal exchanges.

The announcement had been highly anticipated, as lawmakers have been pressing the administration for weeks on official figures.

3/100ths of 1% of the American people have signed up.

They’re really on a roll in Obamacare Land.

The report says well over 300,000 to Medicaid. Wow! The sad thing is that those rubes have no idea how bad Medicaid is.

It’s “free” so they will love it.

Along with their food stamps, TANF, section 8 housing, obamphone, subsidized high speed internet, and Earned Income Credit.

“......HealthCare.gov has performed even worse than expected. Fewer than 27,000 people selected a plan through the website, compared with roughly 79,000 who picked a plan through the 15 state-based insurance exchanges. Unofficial estimates leaked earlier this week suggested the federal website had done slightly better....”

We wonder to what extent these reported numbers have been audited? What data was used by Health and Human Services? What assumptions did they use? What was the source of the data? What methodology did they use to come up with those numbers? We all wonder whether or not the numbers are somehow inflated.

So, for the people who have lost their insurance, how are they paying for doctors, meds, procedures and hospital stays? Who’s paying the bills?

Yup. They have already said they are counting plans in the shopping cart.
