Obamacare Roars out of the Box for North Dakota: 14 People Have Signed Up with Blue Cross Since October 1st!

Well it seems that Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota is just cleaning up with Obamacare. They have signed up 14 people since October 1st that have come from the Heathcare.gov website.

The North Dakota online publication Inforum on Tuesday quoted a Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota spokesman as saying just 14 state residents have signed up with that insurer, the largest in the state, since the Oct. 1 launch of HealthCare.gov. Only six other people in North Dakota have signed up with other carriers, according to Inforum, which noted that means an enrollment rate of less than one person per day.

Wow, slow down Blue Cross Blue Shield! At this rate they will have a 100 people (not 100s but exactly 100 people) with insurance by the cutoff next year. At this rate they should have everyone in North Dakota signed up by the the year 3929. Just a little less than 2000 years from now. That's fast for government work.
 
Blue Cross Blue Shield official James Nichol, speaking at a public meeting in Fargo on Monday, revealed that earlier that same day the federal government had asked the insurer not to reveal enrollment figures. 

I'm sure the White House had the best of intentions to have the insurer hush-up these scintillating numbers. They are the most open Administration of all time I am told. 

The Washington Post on Tuesday reported that CMS director Tavenner earlier that same day had told directors of state Medicaid agencies that HealthCare.gov is still not able to electronically enroll people in Medicaid, which is the government health insurance program for many poor people. 

HealthCare.gov is even stopping poor people from getting free insurance. Now that is one website that ignores class. It sucks equally for all Americans regardless of income.
