WASHINGTON -- Approximately 4 million individuals have now signed up for health care plans under the newly created Obamacare insurance exchanges, a senior administration official told The Huffington Post on Tuesday.

The numbers mean that roughly 700,000 people have signed up for health care plans since the end of January. And with five weeks before the enrollment period deadline at the end of March, they put the administration on pace to come close to the Congressional Budget Office's initial projection that 7 million individuals would sign up for insurance coverage during the period.

8. they'll try b/c they're that stooopid & billionaires think they own the country

They cannot stand what little taxes they pay going to help people who've worked all their lives and then get some chronic disease. Billionaires think everyone should have a stash of million$ to pay health expenses out of pocket, just like they do if they have cancer or whatever "pre-existing condition" they have.

15. What will be great is when other states follow the Vermont model.

Obama and Democrats on the Hill should be given credit for that, even among liberals who are highly critical of them.
