19 million Visits to Healtcare.gov and 476K Submitted Applications

Well it seems that healthcare.gov is barely signing anyone up.

Breaking it down further, the administration's data notes that a bit more than half of the 476,000 applications have come from the federally run Healthcare.gov, and that, in the interim, it's encouraging people to use call centers to sign up for health insurance. In fact, call center head count has been beefed up by 50% to meet increased questions and demand while technicians continue to work out the numerous architectural flaws in the government-run website.

Finally, we also found out that the number of people who had visited Healthcare.gov through Friday night had risen to 19 million.

So 19 million visits and less than 500k or so actually sign up for anything? Now that sounds like it sure wasn't worth the billions of dollars that was rolled into Obamacare.
