The Obama Failure Continues … State Obamacare Exchanges Have Enrolled Only 3% of Their Target

The 3% President

EPIC FAILURE … Reuters is reporting that State Obamacare exchanges have enrolled 3%, 3 lousy percent of their target goal. This is not the government health exchange, Healthcare .gov that has been an embarrassing nightmare, but the state exchanges. Hey America, do you see now why Obama and Democrats are forcing you to buy insurance or else? No one is even doing so under threat of penalty and the IRS.

As Agent 86 of ‘Get Smart’ fame used to say … “missed it by that much.”

President Barack Obama’s healthcare reform has reached only about 3 percent of its enrollment target for 2014 in 12 U.S. states where new online health insurance marketplaces are mostly working smoothly, a report released on Monday said.

States with functioning exchanges have signed up 49,100 people compared with the 1.4 million people expected to be enrolled for 2014, according to the report by healthcare research and consultancy firm Avalere Health.

With enrollment in the federal HealthCare.gov website serving 36 states stalled by technical failures, the weak sign-ups for functioning insurance exchanges could be due to the administration’s difficulty to promote the program as a success, Avalere said.

The government is due to release national enrollment figures for the month of October this week. Open enrollment ends March 31, 2014.

Supporters of Obamacare and health insurers fear that scant participation in the private insurance exchanges will prevent them from becoming a sustainable new individual market, including the right mix of young and healthy members to offset coverage for older, sick people.
