Only 27,000 Selected Obamacare Of 900,000 That Made It Through The Process

[mudwhistle]

Less than 27,000 of the over 900,000 that made it through the process on the federal exchange decided to enroll for Obamacare.

They were hoping by now to have almost half a million signed up by know, but I don't think they're ever going to get that.

There was slightly more than 106k that made it through the process if you include the state exchanges, but the numbers don't reflect how many actually went through the entire process which includes making the first payment.

Anyone who has sold insurance knows that the policy doesn't go in force till the first payment is received.

So in the first month, ACA has 975,407 applications for whatever it does. There are also a lot of MediCaid elibible. Maybe if the traffic thins out a little, then maybe the federal website will work better. 26,876,527 unique visitors are recorded at all the websites.

27,000 bought insurance via HealthCare.gov

According, to Legend(?), apparently Barack Obama was only one of them.

were the prices on the home page? or did they want to know all about your sex life before they revealed the costs?

 

[boedicca]

That's a worse conversion rate than Spam Email.

 

[TheSeventhTiger]

are they gonna ask the young men a very private question? you know, where they will need to round off the answer to the nearest .25 of an inch?

 

[Katzndogz]

Of those that made a selection, how many signed up enough to pay the premium?

WTF is a 'unique visitor'?

note the term 'assessed', does that mean they go it or...?

People seem to forget what really gets counted, in America! Many may recall that President Kennedy was elected based on a possibly, "unique" count of voters in Chicago. Mostly, for ACA, most likely vistors were all alive, interested: And then got irritated at the whole thing.

The face of the female on the federal website was taken off--maybe just a bit too unique(?)!

State of Washington allows its people to shop before signing up. More likely that was what the 27 million unique visitors really wanted to do, at the start.

It's too expensive--that's why you see people shopping but not BUYING. The Affordable Care Act is really not Affordable.

I read somewhere that they would have to sign up 39,000 per day for the whole think to be viable. Looks like they are a hair behind. Perhaps the NSA and IRS could get their databases together and just do the signup for everyone and forego the failed website approach.

Not the same person visiting the site for the 15th time. You use cookies to track whether they've been there or not. Of course, you can delete cookies and be counted again.

Not a bad idea--then the Obamalongs would actually notice when they got $400 to $700 per month taken out of their checking accounts.

You voted for Obamacare--You got it!

yea well, from what I understand, the website dec. 1 even after 'the fix', won't be able to handle half that traffic....

They won't tell us.

We'll sooner find out about what really happened in Benghazi.......

The website is the LEAST of the ObamaCare problems.

The back end integration is a nightmare - and the entire end to end system is chockful of security holes. But even those pale when compared to the galactic eocnomic illiterate structure of the program itself.

Hope Is All Obamacare Has Left
By Megan McArdle Nov 11, 2013 2:25 PM PT

snip-

Just how bad could this get? Well, here’s one scenario, maybe not the most likely, but possible: The exchanges aren’t ready by Dec. 1. In fact, they continue to experience problems in January and February. The administration’s poll numbers continue to plummet, and the reputation of the exchanges is such that come spring, young people don’t bother to sign up -- or are afraid to hand over their personal data to such a buggy system. The insurance pool is much smaller, older and sicker than expected, which is to say, much more expensive than expected. The administration comes up with small emergency patches, like allowing people to keep their old policies for a few more months. But that makes the pool of people insured through the exchanges even older and sicker than it otherwise would be.

Meanwhile, sometime between March and June, the other shoe drops: People who bought exchange policies realize that the restricted networks insurers created to keep the premium costs low cut out the best hospitals and doctors. A newly insured child with cancer cannot get into a top pediatric hospital because her insurance has zero coverage for out-of-network emergency care. Tearful Mom goes on the evening news and says that she thought when they went on Obamacare, that meant they were safe, and why can’t I take my baby to Philadelphia Children’s Hospital, Mr. President? That particular story will be fixed, through some combination of private charity, insurer PR sensitivity and government intervention. But there will be more of these cases that don’t make the papers. The folks who had no insurance and are now on Medicaid may be quite glad of their insurance, but those people don’t vote in large numbers. The middle-class voters who thought they were getting much more out of this law are disenchanted, maybe angry.

By June, insurers are filing their rate increases for next year. But there are already lawsuits being filed over the limited networks and rumblings about legal remedies in the legislature. They are paying out much more in claims for each customer than they expected when they set rates, and while the “risk corridor” reinsurance provisions mitigate some of their losses, they do not turn losses into profits. And public anger over all the downsides of the law -- the policy cancellations, the malfunctioning exchanges, the extremely narrow provider networks -- makes it look very likely that Democrats are going to lose the Senate in 2014. The law now seems to be in danger -- not in danger of outright repeal, but in danger of death from a thousand cuts, as legislators roll back anything that’s unpopular -- like, say, the individual mandate.

yea..I read last week that 2 months out 'they' Sibelius et al were told this thing has not passed any regulated and statutory security checks, someone told them to go ahead anyway....you believe that? unreal.....and its against federal law to boot, I am not sure a waiver protects them .....

edit- here we go-

WASHINGTON (CBSDC/AP) — A memo the Obama administration turned over to the House Oversight Committee revealed that the White House granted itself a waiver to launch the faulty HealthCare.gov website with “a level of uncertainty.”

The waiver was granted four days before the Oct. 1 launch of the Obamacare website, even though it was “deemed as a high (security) risk,” according to CBS News.

CBS News reports tests to secure customer information privacy on the federal health exchange website fell behind schedule, with a required top-to-bottom security test before the launch of the site never getting done. From May 6 to July 16, the deadline for final security plans fell through three times, while security assessments — which were supposed to be finished June 7 –were pushed back to Aug. 16 and then Aug. 23.

Nothing can undermine public confidence more than the fear of a security and privacy breach,” Georgetown Law professor Lawrence Gostin said. “You could have somebody hack into the system, get your Social Security number, get your financial information.”

Despite Medicare chief Marilyn Tavenner accepting the risk and “mitigation” measures, three officials said in a statement that “does not reduce the risk” of an Oct. 1 launch, CBS News reports.
