Surprise! Only About 50,000 Have Enrolled Through Healthcare.Fail

Millions of Americans have already received cancellation notices from their health insurance carriers. The number who have been dropped is far greater than the number who have been “helped” by Obamacare. The Wall Street Journal reports that only about 50,000 have enrolled so far, which, while more than 6, is far short of the 500,000 the administration expected to sign up in October.

Dave Camp (R., Mich.). An estimated seven million were expected to gain private coverage by the end of March, when the open-enrollment period is set to end. (Read More)

That number doesn’t include those who ended up enrolling in Medicaid. Recent reports indicate that there are many more new Medicaid enrollees than new Obamacare customers. It’s like this was all designed to fail.
