>> Word of mouth.........those numbers will grow. Saw a great series of interviews on TV tonight -- a person walking around asking young people did they intend to buy insurance under Obamacare. Out of ten or so who were asked, one said "Yes" -- they he said, "If I can get it for about $1,000 a year. But I thought Obamacare was supposed to be free!" The ONLY thing that is going to provide any good news at all is there are between 10 and 20 million people who have lost their coverage due to Obamacare who have NOTHING and will be FORCED to get insurance through the exchanges. There will be millions fewer insured as of 12/31 than there were at October 1, and that, by any measure, is an absolute disaster for Obamacare. And for those people.

Word of mouth not working so well in Seattle, is it? Obamacare’s defenders often point to states like Washington to prove that the law is succeeding. However, the Evergreen State is signing up vastly more people for Medicaid than for private insurance. Through the first two months of enrollment, Healthplanfinder, the state’s health-care exchange, has enrolled 176,468 Washingtonians in coverage. Over 91,000 are newly eligible for expanded Medicaid and more than 66,000 were currently eligible but were not enrolled. That leaves only 18,131 residents who purchased private policies.
