Marilyn B. Tavenner, the official in charge of President Obama’s health insurance marketplace, apologized on Tuesday to millions of Americans who have been frustrated in trying to buy insurance under the new health care law.

She repeatedly refused to say how many of those people had actually enrolled in health insurance plans since the federal and state marketplaces, or exchanges, opened on Oct. 1.

Someone I know in the industry said that the entire state of California has less than 100K signups.

I can only imagine how the rest of the country is.

Maybe because there is a low initial number of people who want Commiecare in the first place. I’m sure the numbers will go up once a gun is put against their temple and a pen in their hand.

Folks just need a little persuasion, right comrades? /sarc
