>> * If this holds up, it’s an extraordinary turnaround: “About 29,000 people signed up for health insurance on the federal government’s HealthCare.gov website during the first two days of December– more than during the whole month of October, a source familiar with the numbers says.”

Oh, really? Looks to me that is something less than 900,000 a month, and given they only have a half month to sign up up the millions (5+) who have lost their coverage, it does not appear to be a turnaround, at all. It looks like an abject failure if, on Jan 1, we have perhaps 4 million fewer insured than we had on Oct 1.

Totally unimpressive.

That's before you even discuss whether they're young healthy people or old sick people.

How is this impressive?

"By 12 p.m. ET (1700 GMT), the website had logged 375,000 visitors, the White House said, nearly half the 800,000 daily users the refurbished site is supposed to be able to handle."


Don't you remember Obama bragging about how many MILLIONS of website hits there were the first couple days? And now they're all excited about 375K?


F-L-O-P.
