LIVs found out they had to pay for it.
You said “enrolled”. People are just window shopping for now. The website had 4.7 million unique visits in the first 24 hours. That might indicate at the least that the massive disinformation campaign to keep people away may not be working. With Louisiana being one of the states with the highest number of people without healthcare, I suspect plenty of folks will be signing up before long.
Also, I bet you did not know that two thirds of people that don’t have health care insurance have full time jobs.
Lots more people won’t have health insurance next year because of skyrocketing costs and employer cutbacks. Obamacare is a disaster for the middle class.
“massive disinformation campaign”
Paid for by oil companies, no doubt. Wait . . . that’s the other scam.
“I bet you did not know that two thirds of people that don’t have health care insurance have full time jobs.”
Hey, FG, did it occur to you that they CHOSE to not have health insurance?
In Texas, some potential applicants didn’t even get to the point of trying to create a login, reports The Washington Post:
In South Texas, health-care providers reported an unusual problem with the federal marketplace: Many patients didn’t have e-mail addresses and therefore couldn’t sign up online.
The Brownsville Community Health Center had 50 people show up on Tuesday ready to sign up for health coverage — many even brought pay stubs and income documentation — but not a single one had an e-mail address.
“If you don’t include an e-mail address, they won’t let you through,” said Christela Gomez, the special-projects coordinator and lead certification application counselor at the center. “Quite a few didn’t even know what an e-mail address was,” she added”

Texas has the largest percentage of population without healthcare of any other state. I suspect when the dust settles, many of those folks will have their quality of life improved with healthcare and become more productive.
More useless crap from Harden as usual.
Wow, you must have an interesting definition for the improvement of “quality of life”.
Though I suspect you mean that more money taken from taxpayers and sent to government tax-parasites will secure the “quality of life” for the tax-parasites in government.
And in the immortal words of an unknown tax-parasite: “F**k the taxpayers!!”
I am amazed that the software requirements specification for the Exchange website did not include the following basic requirement:
“The system shall not become the software equivalent of a boat anchor if the number of users who try to use it exceeds the maximum number for which the system is designed.”
I spent 30 years as a software engineer for a national laboratory, and I would have been fired on the spot if I had delivered software that failed as miserably as that website has.
