Minnesota's exchange enrollment goal of 67,000 seemed within reach on Jan. 4, when signups stood at 25,860.

But after surging by more than 4,000 per week in the prior five weeks, signups collapsed back to November's pace of less than 700 per week.

As of Feb. 1, Nevada had just 14,999 paid enrollees — vs. the state's March 31 goal of 115,000.

Washington state, meanwhile, was slightly more than halfway to its goal of 340,000 signups — but only 88,071 had paid as of Feb. 1.

The January data available from a handful of states raise new doubts about whether ObamaCare's downgraded first-year prospects are still too optimistic.

Further, a spotty payment rate (50% in Washington and 66% in Nevada) creates a risk that the demographics of the paid exchange population may be older — and possibly sicker — than even the national signup data have signaled.

No one knows who is signed up or paid, overall. Obozo and his kneepad minions lie.

“Enrollment” with no pay is NOT enrollment.

Insurance companies will still want their money. This bailout will be EVEN BIGGER than we could have dreamt of.

Washington state...slightly more than halfway to goal of 340,000 signups — but only 88,071 had paid as of Feb. 1.

So, out of 170,000 or so who signed up, only half actually paid in to the system.......................

Has anyone ever seen more dishonesty about numbers? Liars.

They should send US Secret Service SWAT teams to households around the country forcing uninsured citizens to sign up for Obamacare.

Bust in the door, flash-bang them, shoot their pets, then wake 'em up with smelling salts and force them to sit down and log on and choose an Obamacare plan.

Hey, they're all TAX EVADERS, aren't they?

Tens of millions of them, yet.
