How Many Have Enrolled in Obamacare?

October 28, 2013 · 9:40 am ET · Leave a Comment

AP:
“The Obama administration will face intense pressure next week to be
more forthcoming about how many people have actually succeeded in
enrolling for coverage in the new insurance markets. Medicare chief
Marilyn Tavenner is to testify during a House hearing Tuesday, followed
Wednesday by Sebelius before the House Energy and Commerce Committee.”

Meanwhile, the New York Times reports
economists and policy wonks behind the Affordable Care Act worry that
the technical problems bedeviling the federal portal could become much
more than an inconvenience. If young applicants “decide to put off or
give up on buying coverage, rising prices and even a destabilized
insurance market could result.”
