[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 1205843, member: 1246"] Crap-tastic numbers like this is why the White House is refusing to release the total number who enrolled through the federal exchange. Via [URL="http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2013/10/07/maryland-says-it-has-326-enrollees-in-health-exchange/?mod=WSJBlog"]WSJ[/URL]: [INDENT]The state of Maryland says it has thousands of people interested in buying health insurance on its new state-run exchange, but only 326 so far have actually enrolled in new coverage. That number is one of the few trickling out about enrollment in the new health-insurance exchanges created by the 2010 Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare. The federal government, which is operating exchanges on behalf of 36 states, hasn’t given enrollment numbers yet for its HealthCare.gov exchange, which, as The Wall Street Journal reported today, has been plagued by design and software problems. Maryland is one of 14 states running its own exchange. With a Democratic governor and Democratic-dominated legislature, the state’s commitment to making the law work was never in doubt, but it ran into considerable technology problems early on. On Monday, the state said it is still working through technical issues and conceded that MarylandHealthConnection.gov “may be inconsistent, especially during periods of peak usage.” Those problems are reflected in the Maryland numbers released Monday, the first of what the state said would be regular data releases. The state said 13,532 accounts with verified identity were created as of Sunday evening, and it has seen 170,000 unique visitors to the website. [B]But only 326 people were actually enrolled in new health-insurance plans.[/B] [/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
