Obama says enrollment is high enough to ensure his health laws survivalBy Juliet Eilperin at the Washington Post

"SNIP..........................
President Obama said Friday he was confident enough Americans had enrolled under the Affordable Care Act to make the program "stable."
In an interview with WebMD, Obama said the fact that 4.2 million people have already signed up for plans under federal and state marketplaces mean enough companies will be invested to stay in the system.
Well, at this point, enough people are signing up that the Affordable Care Act is going to work. The insurance companies will continue to offer plans, the president said. It will be a larger number than that by the end of March 31st, the deadline to get insurance this year.
Obama noted, however, that the larger question is whether the risk pool is diverse enough to ensure premiums don't skyrocket, since "the more you can spread the risk with more people, the better deal youre going to get."

Are really into procrastination (which that group typically is) and the servers border on crashing the final week before the March 31 deadline.

Live and in the nude if they get 7 million signed up by March 31st ala "Love Actually"
