Jan. 3 (Bloomberg) -- So far, Obamacare’s biggest success
is the one that neither Democrats nor Republicans seem to want
to talk about.
As of Jan. 1, more than 2 million people had signed up for
insurance through the Affordable Care Act’s insurance
marketplaces -- the vast majority of them in December. That’s
less than the 3.3 million the administration had projected would
sign up by the new year. But those projections didn’t foresee
that HealthCare.gov would be an abject disaster in its first two
months of life. The surge in December enrollments doesn’t make
up for Obamacare’s catastrophic launch. But it shows
HealthCare.gov is, at this point, working.
