29,000 sign up for insurance on improved HealthCare.gov site - NBC News.com

About 29,000 people signed up for health insurance on the federal governmentÂ’s
HealthCare.gov website during the first two days of December — more than during the whole month of October,
a source familiar with the numbers says.
That would be an unamed source.
Julie Bataille, a spokeswoman for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which runs the site,
would not confirm the 29,000 number.
That would be a named source.
In October, just 26,000 managed to sign up using
the federal website, which is serving 36 states.
Pitiful!
26K in Octber and an unconfirmed 29K in two days from 36 states does not impress me, especially since more than 5 million had their healthcare cancelled in the same time frame.
