Affordable Care Act.........THANKS Barry!

[h=2]Bloomberg puts the best spin possible on the number of November ObamaCare sign ups (these are not yet official enrollees who have paid their first month's premium) through the federal exchange that covers 36 states. But 100,000 is still dismal. Added together with the 27,000 October federal signs ups, and what you have is ObamaCare at only 15% of its two-month goal.[/h]Thanks to RomneyCare, when the Administration set its two-month enrollment goal at 800,000 for the federal exchange, they did so knowing signs ups are slow in the early months. Still, after two months, the federal exchange is 85% short.
NBC's Chuck Todd reports that with the state exchanges, November ObamaCare sign ups totaled somewhere between 200,000 to 250,000.
If you are generous and assume the number is 250,000, and add that to October's 100,000 sign ups; with almost 40% of the enrollment period gone, ObamaCare is only at 5% of its ultimate goal of 7 million.
That 7 million number is not arbitrary. That is the number needed to make the program financially viable.
The distinction between "sign ups' and "enrolled" is important. Putting ObamaCare in your shopping cart is only the first step. Deciding to follow through from there with an actual payment is the only step that matters. The official enrollment number could fall far short of the sign up number.

It was a trainwreck before it left the station.

Another point is, the young and healthy need to enroll and so far, they are MIA.

The Dem's fail at business 101...I mentioned this the other day, BarryO and his band of followers gave the young and healthy people a pass for two years with the tiny little fine of 95.00..When you are counting on that group of people to get your health care program to work, why in the world did they give them a pass? The only thing I can think of is they are that stupid, it's deserves to fail with leadership that has their head so far up their ass they can't think straight....It was set up to get their votes and to keep them thinking they were going to get free shit...imo

The big O felt the need to lie to his fellow dems in order to pass this ugly albatross of a law.
He owns it, lock, stock and smoking barrels.

I repeat, it is going to get much, much worse.
Stay tuned.

In Massachusetts the implementation of Healthcare reform was phased in, starting those who were 300 percent or greater below the poverty line. It was done slowly and in phases to ensure that the rollout would not be disruptive and expose any glitches in the process. So the slow adoption of the Mass Healthcare law was by design.

And that is supposed to make 0 nada zilch for two months seem better?

Obama's legacy is now on par or below that of Jimmy Carter's, and it will be a LONG, LONG time before another black man (or 1/2) is elected president. He's upset the apple cart of America, people are finally coming to their senses and the upcoming 2014 elections will be so one sided, it will shock one and all.

The real question is: "Is it too late" to reverse the quagmire of shit we find ourselves in now????

That's not racist at all.

*rolls eyes*

You really shouldn't speak out of your ass.

I guess we'll see soon enough...........I figured you Dem's would get around to the "racist" claims soon enough- is that all you got?

I'm not a Democrat and you started the race remarks. That fault lie with you.

I'm over the fact you are racist, I've moved on to you being feeble minded.

Obama's race has nothing to do with the failings of obamacare. Nor will it "put off" others from voting for another black president.
