The Obamacare health-insurance exchanges enrolled 248 people in their first two days, as website outages and software errors hindered sign-ups, according to documents obtained by a congressional oversight committee.
Notes from three meetings at an Obama administration “war room,” obtained by Republican Representative Darrell Issa of California, show six people had enrolled on Oct. 1, the first day of the website’s operation. The summary of an Oct. 2 meeting stated that “direct enrollment is still not working” and about 40,000 applicants were idling in a virtual “waiting room.”
