    While Republicans cry and whine and lie and gnash their teeth in the Republican Bubble, Obamacare draws enormous interest and signups in the REAL world!

    Well to be fair, those states have the highest populations of deadbeat leeching democrats. Wonder what the numbers are in Texas, Alabama, Georgia, etc?

    Combined right around 57 million, so 0.001% of the population of the 2 states signed up. What a success!!!!!

    Three years in the making, more than $900 million [according to posts I've seen] and you are bragging on 68 thousand people in one week?

    In 168 hours of log in time involving the single most hyped product since the iPhone, and you are BRAGGING about a less than 1% return?

    And this is a feature in which there are tax and subsidy incentives?

    Even nanny state Canadians who apologize for breathing would be outraged....but in Obamaland its success?

    Remind me again how Obama is so great. remind me about that Hope and Change thing because I'm seeing more Katrina here than "hope and change."


    Keep fiddlin' ....eventually an infinite number of moneys will write the Bible..

    I'll promise you there are tons of people who are dependent on government in Alabama and Georgia who are staunch conservatives.

    So is this 68,000 people who bought an insurance policy or 68,000 who signed up for an account on the exchange? Of the 68k who signed up for an account, how many will buy insurance? Obviously a smaller number. When they see the crap policy on the exchanges, the number of people purchasing policies may be in single digits in those states.

    That put it in perspective...

    The city of Vancouver recently had a sign up campaign for a new payment/card system for community centers.

    They were a bit disappointed in that in a five week period the system crashed twice and only 40,000 people signed up in that time.

    In a city of 600,000 and a campaign that was not advertised.....

    So a city of just over half a million people signs up 8,000 a week in a campaign that was not advertised...

    Up against Obamacare, in 23 weeks this city would have signed up 184,000 or a third of the city - likely all the head of households, in a software program that was controversial at $220,000.00

    Move over Obama, let the Canadians do it...

    What propaganda machine is that....FOX news? It certainly isn't any major news network, major magazine like TIME or newspaper like the NYT. Maybe talk radio? As if millions of Liberals are listening there, ha ha. Keep smokin the weed dood. So how is this massive machine reaching Liberals and convincing them not to sign up, who don't actually listen to anything that speaks ill of Obama?

    Kentucky's state exchange has completely enrolled 20,000 people in the first weeks, with 40,000 more signed on working the process and 200,000 visitors.

    The Right Wing's predictions of "complete failure" is a FAIL! :lol:

    Of course. Those who resist change will always squawk the loudest but will be at the front of the line demanding their benefits once they are in effect.

    does signing up require you to have a social security number and such? because if so that would explain the low low numbers in Cali.

    Actually Obama is trying to give all illegal aliens their social security cards now so they can sign up too. He is so confident that he wants the entire world to sign up so that you and I can pay for it. You gotta love this hope and change he brought our nation. (sarcasm off)
