More people in the USA watch Danching with the Stars in one night than all the people who have signed up with Obamacare in one month.... Super Failure.

How do they know that those payments didn’t go to some off shore Nigarian scam ?

if you liked the numbers today, wait until the employer mandate kicks in. 100,000,000 losing their coverage isn’t out of the question.
The large steaming cup of fail.

They can’t even get their website working and they expect us to believe that they can make the healthcare work?
But there’s one born every minute.

“successfully applied for” = obfuscationist b.s.
The relevant metrics are: how many actually PAY, what are the age and income/subsidy breakdowns etc.
This thing is a sinking ship, even in its own socialist terms, if there are not enough full-pay no-subsidy young enrollees, who will pay the costs while not making much use of the services.
Ofc, what is much more likely is that as the fiasco unfolds the libs will try to spin the disaster into a call for national “single payer” socialized medicine. Obozocare cannot be paid for in its own terms when a high proportion of enrollees will be high-subsidy participants.

They are refusing to reveal how many actually paid and enrolled.
They must know. There’s no way they don’t know.

106,185 people have successfully applied for and chosen private insurance through the health care law's new marketplacesWeasel words. They're saying that 106185 people had something in their shopping basket.
They are trying to conceal complete disaster.

(8) Individuals Who Have Selected a Marketplace plan represents the total number of Individuals Determined Eligible to Enroll in a plan Through the Marketplace who have selected a plan (with or without the first premium payment having been received directly by the Marketplace or the issuer) during the reference period. This is also known as pre-effectuated enrollment.There is no doubt with this definition of who is enrolled that the 106,185 "enrolled" is a specious number at best. The actual payments to the insurance companies by December 15 will provide the real number.

The fantastic Minnesota exchange,claimed to be one of the “best in the nation”, has “only” cost the equivalent of $87k per enrollee so far.

Not to defend the thing, but isn’t that like saying the first car off the assembly line cost $300 million?

So if it took $70 million to build the website, and 27,000 have used it. So far that’s a cost of $2600 per user.
