ObamaCare Disaster 2: Only 365,000 Have Signed Up

From NBC: About 365,000 people have managed to get health insurance on the new state and federal websites so far, federal officials announced Wednesday. The numbers are just a trickle compared to what officials had forecast and hoped for, but show that the balky federal website is better than it was at rollout on Oct. 1.
In the first two months the exchanges were open, 137,204 people signed up for health insurance on the federal exchange, being operated for 36 states, while 227,478 have signed up on the 15 state-run exchanges, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which runs the exchanges, said.

Meanwhile, 5,000,000 alone have had their had their health insurance coverage cancelled because of ObamaCare.  Then you add the uninsured and the underinsured and the 365,000 number is just pathetic.
Clearly, people are not signing up for the insurance and those that do are mostly those who have medical problems.  The people they need to sign up, the young and healthy are not signing up, which will be a disaster for our entire health care system.
