Report: Only 5 Iowans Have Signed Up for Obamacare
The Weekly Standard ^ | 10/10/13 | Daniel Halper

Posted on 10/10/2013 12:20:55 PM PDT by barmag25

A local Iowa affiliate reports that it could confirm only 5 people in that state have signed up for Obamacare:

The "system doesn't seem to be working for most who log-on," says the local reporter. "We tried multiple times on Wednesday to see how long it would take to set up an account to try to shop the rates from the plans. Each time we logged in, within 5 minutes, the system was down." "Also today, the insurance division office in Des Moines told us, 'We cannot say for sure if anyone has successfully signed up through the healthcare.gov website," says a reporter. "Tonight, one of the two exchange providers ... said a total of 5 Iowans have obtained insurance."

Iowa is just the slingshot that gives us 'RAT "Rising Stars" like the Kenyan Boy Wonder. It doesn't mean that they like DemocRATS.

I’d think it would be hard to do “fake” with all of the information they’re gathering. More likely is how many who sign up are getting heavily subsidized or free insurance.

If you want the world to have access to your most private information, go crate an account on one of these obamaCAIR websites.

It’s because there is no towel service. We demand towel service...

You might be on to something there. Have some kind of system where you can get a tattoo or your hair done and sign for Obamacare at the same time.

Is one of them Chad? Or are there perhaps a few of Chad's OFA comrades?

I do not like Obamacare
It has me pulling out my hair
I know of no one anywhere
Who thinks we can survive this scare


There is no one I can compare
To the pRESIDENT, the empty chair.

The only people who are gonna sign up are the ones who are gonna get it either free or subsidized. The prices are too outrageous for everyone else. It will be another huge welfare program with no way to pay for it. The fact that the Democrats thought this would all ‘balance’ out shows how unhinged they really are.

Only “hundreds” have been able to sign up for a health care plan at the Obamacare websites. The Wall Street Journal reported:

Okay now we will try the landline # 1-800-318-2596 listed above or 1-800-318-2596 = 1-800-FAU-CKYO.

The ‘most transparent administration in our history” can’t be hiding the number who have actually enrolled in Obumbles’ “signature achievement, “ could they?
The Romans managed to count all their subjects with parchment and quills back in their day, but we can’t get a count with hundreds of millions of tax-dollars spent on computers, programs and, hilariously, “navigators.”

When the majority of those trying to get this newest freebie are grade school/high school dropouts or illegal aliens who are waiting for the Spanish version (which they won’t be able to read either), it’s a tough clientele to work with.

I know my sister put some long rant on her FB page on 9/30 about what a great thing 0bamacare was going to be, and how she was going to be able to sign up on 10/1, and could not understand why the GOP was “holding hostage” with the (at the time) threats of government shutdown over the 0bamacare controversy. I wonder if she’s one of the 5? I am so tempted to ask her how it went and how much of a savings she’s going to have in her heatlh care costs now.
