| Possibly Uninsured Woman Nearly Passed Out At Obama Press Conference »
October 21, 2013
Glitch Fest 2013 - Obama To Rally The Troops For ObamaCareObama has a White House event scheduled for 11:35 eastern (so figure sometime around noon) to introduce the world to one of the hardest to find types of people...those who have signed up for ObamaCare. He's going to make it sound like everything is just fine aside from a few minor glitches but the reality is much different. From The Morning Jolt by Jim Geraghty (sign up here for this free weekday newsletter). 19 million hits turned into nearly 500,000 applications. So about 2.6 percent of all hits turn into an application? The other story will likely be "the state run exchanges are doing better". Yeah, not so much. In New York, one of only 16 states that has its own exchange, not one person had succeeded in using the site to enroll in a plan as of Friday. Of course the real number that counts isn't website hits, registrations, or even people who have enrolled in plans. No, the important number is how many young, healthy and stupid people have gotten a policy. No one seems to have heard of any of them actually existing. Without lots and lots of those types of customers, this whole thing comes crashing down. But Obama will trot out 3 or 4 people who are getting coverage while ignoring the millions who will be losing their policies because of ObamaCare, even if they liked their plan. “I don’t feel like I need to change, but I have to,” said Jeff Learned, a television editor in Los Angeles, who must find a new plan for his teenage daughter, who has a health condition that has required multiple surgeries. And don't forget about the 800,000 plus in New Jersey who are being kicked off their plan. So on one hand, millions who can't keep their policy and on the other, the 19,000 or so who have gotten new coverage. Where is the GOP messaging on this? It's not like there aren't some good ideas floating around out there:
