This might be a good data point for the theory that computer skills and verbal communication add to a constant then.  :P

Not my fault that you can't read my mind. I knew what I meant. :D

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Health Site Sign-Ups Fall Far Short Of Obama Target

'Fewer than 50,000 people successfully navigated the troubled federal health-care website to enroll in private health-insurance plans as of last week.

That's just the Federal website, for people stuck in Dumbfuckistan states that don't have exchanges.  Do we know what the total numbers are, including state exchanges?

100,000, apparently: http://www.forbes.com/sites/theapothecary/2013/11/12/the-obamacare-exchange-scorecard-around-100000-enrollees-and-five-million-cancellations/

Democrats Threaten to Abandon Obama on Health Law Provision

'Anxious congressional Democrats are threatening to abandon President Obama on a central element of his signature health care law, voicing increasing support for proposals that would allow Americans to retain the health insurance coverage they are losing because of the Affordable Care Act.

The dissent comes as the Obama administration released enrollment figures Wednesday that fell far short of expectations.'

It's disgusting how so many Americans are cheering for failure, and hoping for changes that they know would make Obamacare more likely to fail.  Who needs external enemies with patriots like that?

Do you mean pass in the House?  That doesn't sound very tough with a Republican majority. :huh:

Does that include those enrolled into Medicaid in the respective states?

Not to fail. To live up to what was promised.
