ObamaCare performance way below 1 percent on first day

They’re the .0002 percent! That’s the minuscule number of visitors to healthcare.gov who actually signed up for coverage — just six people out of more than 3 million — on the first day, the Associated Press reports. And the federal government’s Web site isn’t faring as well as state sites. As of Nov. 30, 227,478 people had signed up on the sites of one of the 14 states that offer their own exchanges, but only 137,204 from the other 36 states had signed up on the federal site.

Still, 81 percent of young Democrats still approve of the Affordable Care Act — although 55 million Americans are uninsured.

The federal government itself estimates that in 2016 when most of ObamaCare’s provisos are expected to take hold, 31 million Americans still won’t have health insurance.
