It is a FACT that the data.healthcare.gov site reports ~864,000 accesses of shopping information for rates this year.

27,000? 106,000? 396,000? 500,000? 975,407?
First a word or two about one of THE experts in this field of health care, health insurance, rationing, etc.
I have known no one with a better grasp of what’s going on in Washington than Bob Laszewski—and no one who is more fair, honest, and less partisan.”—C. Everett Koop, M.D.
No one has a greater knowledge of the Washington health policy scene than Bob Laszewski—political, economic, social, and straight merit dimensions. Bob also has uncanny forecasting powers. And he calls the shots exactly as he sees them, unusual for Washington.”—John McLaughlin, The McLaughlin Group.
Bob Laszewski has been named a "Top 5 Speaker" on health care in a survey involving 13,000 business leaders, educators, association members, and others.
Here is how I figure this, enrollment Benghazi.
It is a FACT that the data.healthcare.gov site reports ~864,000 accesses of shopping information for rates this year.
Some of these are certainly multiple accesses. Massachusetts reported 1% of all VISITORS to their site bought policies. We don’t have that information since Obama has HIDDEN THAT INFORMATION.
Let’s be generous then and assume that 3% of shoppers, a more serious indicator than VISITORS, actually went to the end and selected a plan and placed it in SOME KIND of cart, or singular selection mechanism (such as leaving ONE plan checked among several they were shopping).
That gives us ~26,000 people. And now to the official:
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.
No one is talking about how many people pressed PAY NOW.
NO ONE
Another 396,000 people have been approved for Medicaid benefits, according to HHS.
Rob .. Mr. Expert… TAKE IT AWAY:
27,000
You know they are in big trouble when they come in at half of my estimates!
The audacity of this administration to continue telling people to keep going back to the website and the call center when they knew full well that only 25 people per day per state were making it thorough the gauntlet that is Healthcare.gov is startling.
This program is in grave danger of collapsing if the administration cannot dramatically grow the size of the risk pool and attract healthy people to it.
The Obama administration doesn’t have a hill to climb, it has Mt. McKinley to climb.
He makes another point … a very good one.
And, no one ever planned for the possibility that we would have back end-loaded hundreds of thousands or even millions of people into a two-week period between December 1 and December 15.
Xlation? Millions of cancelled people will be without insurance on Jan 1, 2014, HEALTH ABORTED by this plan.
What plan?
