100K Sign Up On Federal Exchange In November, Administration Far Short Of Its Goals
This morning Bloomberg published a new report suggesting that, during the last month, roughly 100,000 people signed up for insurance at Healthcare.gov. The good news for the administration is that this represents almost a four-fold increase from the month before, when only a little over 26,000 people registered. So, the folks in the White House should be pretty happy, right?
Well, no, not really. In order to be on pace to meet their projections, they would have needed to register close to a million by now.
After two months of software errors and delays that have threatened the success of President Barack Obama's signature health law, the administration said yesterday that it met its self-imposed deadline and the site, healthcare.gov, is working smoothly for the majority of users. The fumbled rollout forced the administration to scale back its original enrollment targets of about 800,000 for the first two months. More
Really doesn't matter how slow the uptake is. As more and more people sign up it will become impossible to repeal the law and take the coverage away. Like it or not, Obamacare is here to stay.
Most of those accounts are bogus. I personally created over 100 bogus accounts just Sunday night. The website has *NO* security and, with a little knowledge, it's extremely easy to set up bogus accounts with real names. All you need is a valid email address then you can make up names, SS numbers, addresses and the system processes the whole thing.
It was stated a few weeks ago that they changed the definition of the term signed up, in order to boost their numbers. Signed up doesn't mean they actually bought a policy. So these statistics mean nothing.
10:28. Just curious. Why would you create 100 bogus accounts? What is your purpose? Given what we've heard about the system crashes, you must have spent weeks doing this.
It took me less than 2 hours to create the 100 accounts. I signed up Dana Milbank, Eugene Robinson, and all the liberal writers for major newspapers. I did it just to prove to myself how corrupt this website actually is. If you care to give me your email address I will sign you up as well. Within a few seconds you will get three emails from healthcare.gov. The first will be an account initiator, the second will be a welcome and the third will say that you have signed up to receive further email updates. The whole thing is a joke. Wanna try it?

ReplyDeleteToo funny...If those people get the calls & e-mails that will piss them off--would be great to capture it on hidden camera!
