Six Enrollments The First Day

This is even more pathetic than people thought:

Healthcare.gov had tallied exactly six successful enrollments by the morning of Oct. 2, new documents released by the House Oversight Committee show. By the end of Oct. 2, the health law Web site that serves 36 states had received 248 insurance enrollments.

Suderman adds:

HHS has attempted to drum up uncertainty about the figures in the leaked documents. “These appear to be notes, they do not include official enrollment statistics,” an HHS spokesperson said in a statement, according to The Washington Post. But while the notes do mention that some insurers didn’t get the enrollment forms they were expected to receive, they express no doubts about the specific enrollment numbers presented. Indeed, the notes from the first day’s meeting list exactly which insurers have reported successful enrollments.
