CBS’ Sharyl Attkisson:

SIREN: DISMAL OBAMACARE SIGN-UP NUMBERS

“For 31 days now, the Obama administration has been telling us that Americans by the millions are visiting the new health insurance website … But no one in the administration has been willing to tell us how many policies have been purchased, and this may be the reason: CBS News has learned enrollments got off to an incredibly slow start. Early enrollment figures are contained in notes from twice-a-day ‘war room’ meetings convened within the [CMMS] … after the website failed on Oct. 1. .. The website launched on a Tuesday. …

“Publicly, the government said there were 4.7 million unique visits in the first 24 hours.

But at a meeting Wednesday morning, the war room notes say ‘six enrollments have occurred so far.’ … By Wednesday afternoon, enrollments were up to ‘approximately 100.’ By the end of Wednesday, the notes reflect ‘248 enrollments’ nationwide.

The health care exchanges need to average 39,000 enrollees a day to meet the goal of seven million by March 1”
