ABC News Reveals Obamacare as Failure but Won’t Admit the Truth

Citing anonymous administration sources, The Associated Press has narrowed the figure to 476,000 applications divided among state and federal exchanges. But although the number does serve as a gauge of activity during the site’s early days, the White House has declined to release how many of those applications resulted in enrollment in a health insurance plan. Those figures are expected to be released in mid-November.

Let’s be generous and pretend that every single application results in an enrollment in a health insurance plan. According to the story, that’s the number we have “almost three weeks into the plan.” The story was release on the 20th (yesterday) so let’s not include the day the story was published. Let’s say that the number was accomplished in 19 days.

So 476,000 divided by 19 gives us a rate of 25,053 enrollments per day. Let's round up to 26,000.

We are told that 46 million people don’t have health insurance. Let’s pretend that everyone who applies (and we assume, are enrolled in a healthcare plan) are one of those people who don’t have health insurance.

So how long will it take for them all to have insurance?

46,000,000 divided by 26,000 tells us it will take just over 1,769 days. That is almost five years.

Yet the deadline to get the insurance in 2014 is December 15, 2013. The deadline to avoid a fine from the IRS is February 15, 2014.
