OblunderCare: only 6 people enrolled on first day, while millions are driven off their private insurance

This is well beyond simply embarrassing...it's a disaster brought on by an overzealous, ideologically-driven federal leviathan, with the most brazen ideologues forming the hydra heads...Obama's there in the center.

Whether 6 by the first day or 248 by the second, that's no where near the 39,000 enrollees needed by the March 1st benchmark of 7 million. But you know what is in the millions? Those driven off their private insurance policies by this obamanation...
WashingtonTimes: The White House didn’t rule out Thursday the possibility that millions of workers could lose their current employer-based health insurance under Obamacare, despite President Obama’s assurance that only the smaller number of people who buy policies on the individual market would need to shop for new coverage.

It’s the latest caveat, and a potentially large one, to Mr. Obama’s oft-repeated and emphatic promise that people who like their health-care plans can keep them. With more than two million people receiving cancellation notices from their insurers, the president hedged on that promise Wednesday, saying the “vast majority” of people can keep their health plans under Obamacare.
Of course, our Imperial President's excuse is 'well, Romneycare had super slow enrollment...Obamacare will be the same.' While his answer to if, or better yet when, you lose your insurance is to just 'shop around,' says the man shielded from the consequences of this statist destruction.

Furthermore, the enrollment is and will continue to be so low, because many, particularly young, healthy people, can't afford to pay into this so-called Affordable Care Act.
NPR: Federal officials say that the exchanges have received 700,000 applications since launching Oct. 1. But so far, it appears that most of those being enrolled are signing up for Medicaid, the government health care system for the poor, rather than private insurance plans.
The vast majority of them are too busy treading water in an economic cesspool created by the same beast that's imposing all the above control upon them.

Do you hear the sucking sound of the Washington whirlpool? What I'm having a hard time hearing is the march of freedom, along with the cry for liberty...
