Big Whoopee, 29,000 Sign Up For ObamaCare In Two Days

From Politico:
About 29,000 people signed up for health insurance through HealthCare.gov on Sunday and Monday — a figure that surpasses the total for the whole month of October, an official familiar with the program told POLITICO.
The quickened pace of enrollments came as the White House hit its self-imposed Nov. 30 deadline to fix the troubled Affordable Care Act website.
The preliminary numbers for the two-day period provide the clearest evidence yet that the federal exchange is on the mend. About 26,000 people selected a health plan during October and about 100,000 people did so in November, the official said.

First, people may have enrolled but no one has paid for ObamaCare yet as that web site is still not built.
2nd, they need to have almost 40,000 people a DAY to make ObamaCare work.  They are still no where close to where they should be and the numbers are not going to improve.
It also doesn't say who is signing up.  Clearly, the majority of people who are signing up are older people and many with pre-existing conditions.
For ObamaCare to work, they need about 40% people signing up to be young people with no major medical problems and that is not happening.
The liberals are thrilled with these numbers but then, they are used to lowering expectations when things don't go their way.
