Week 8 Obamacare signups - 928,133 confirmed

http://obamacaresignups.net/

The blogger Brainwrap has the most comprehensive and well documented numbers. Because each state updates at different time the enrollment numbers are updated at different times.

In these numbers, for example, AZ and NY have not updated their numbers in three weeks and is certainly more than 735/and 24,000 respectively.

I expect that with Thanksgiving and the improvement in the website that a lot of people will be using the down time to sign up and in December we will see a big jump and breaking the 1,000,000 number.

With benefits starting in January I expect a big number in December.

2. By this time next year, many people will scratch their head and wonder what all the fuss was about.

By then, of course, the low-information group will be lusting after the next big GOP lie. I'm sorry, but the adage of a dog returning to its vomit describes that situation to a T. Maybe by that time the GOP will have whipped itself into a frenzy over impeachment. Apart from the uncalled for suffering that would cause many Americans, especially the President himself, I'd almost welcome a serious GOP effort in that direction. I can't think of much that would hang them any higher.
