Here is an interesting comparison regarding the D.O.D. vs. ObamaCare


The Department of Defense has a budget of four hundred nineteen point three billion dollars ($419,300,000,000.00) and more than THREE MILLION EMPLOYEES. http://www.defense.gov/about/dod101.aspx

In comparison, Covered California has now signed up : Over 1.8 Million Consumers Since it Began Offering Coverage in 2014.
http://news.coveredca.com/2015/05/covered-california-has-served-18.html

Got that? Wow! Only one state, California has now managed to serve more than ONE HALF of the number of total employees in the D.O.D. Given all of the cost over-runs and mistakes made by the D.O.D. / Pentagon ( like the recent 467 BILLION over budget of F35 project), I'd say that ObamaCare is a fantastic, efficient and wonderful success. Especially for a start-up!
