BREAKING: Obamacare Enrollment Tops 6 Million
By Tara Culp-Ressler
On Thursday, President Obama announced on a call with volunteers that the number of Americans who have enrolled in health insurance plans under Obamacare has hit six million.
With several days left to go before open enrollment ends on March 31, the administration has met its target. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated that Obamacare enrollment would hit six million by the end of its enrollment period. Although the Obama administration initially projected a seven million enrollment figure, that number was revised down after technological issues plagued the insurance marketplaces’ websites this past fall.
Just ten days ago, the Obama administration announced that enrollments had hit five million — meaning that the pace of enrollment has significantly picked up recently, and a million Americans enrolled in less than two weeks. The White House has always anticipated a last-minute surge in enrollment, since previous efforts to enroll Americans in government-run health care programs have demonstrated that people typically wait until the last minute to sign up.
Although open enrollment technically ends in four days, there will be a few more weeks for some Americans to sign up. On Wednesday, the administration announced that the people who have experienced technological difficulties will be allowed to complete their enrollment in April.

so there you have it. But eventually even the Americans that the Republicons have lied to and suckered so profoundly will wake up, and take steps to get health care for themselves and their families at an affordable price.

Signing up would be a bargain for the taxpayers. Signing everybody up would be a grand bargain for the taxpayers. (Whether they understand it or not.)

and in what slant will Greenwald order them to. LEMME GUESS! 
swallow. Many here in Massachusettes still do...to point out that this was mostly a Republican, insurance-company-friendly plan as opposed to better coverage like single payer. But, it is the one Mass adopted years ago and it's been very popular.
And as far as the ACA being the best legislation since FDR, there are millions of people with disabilities (and millions more only one accident away from becoming part of that 'open' group) for whom the ADA might seem right up there as well. And of course there were a few good Acts during the Johnson era...
Oh, and WELCOME to DU, by the way!
