This was a full week after the launch of the marketplace — and the problems that have rendered the marketplaces in Wisconsin and other states largely inoperable in their first week still have not been fully worked out.

Nine signed up? Look on the bright side — that should reduce the wait to see an Obamacare doctor to under six weeks.

Back in the 70’s, the Milwaukee “Welfare Rights Organization” was run by a Communist Party USA member, Lucille Berrien. She got a few free trips to the Soviet Bloc to aid them and Hanoi in the war.

Wonder what ever happened to the Comrade?

I suspect that the sites are simply crap; not overloaded.

A quick look at the top US 100 and US Health; no 0bamacare?

Realize that Alexa uses the past 30 days average and Healthcare.gov has only been live for a week.

If you look at the chart, it’s gone vertical

Next year many insurance companies will abandon the exchanges. The government will have to put all the ACA patients into the Medic-Aid system.

I would love to see a pic and a bio of each of the 13 workers trained to help people sign up for OCare in Milwaukee. Betcha they’re ACORN Amish folks, dumb as lint, and in way over their heads.

I thought it might be a rolling average but was too lazy to check.
Thanks
