One Chart That Explains How Badly ObamaCare Is Failing

ObamaCare has been in full swing for three weeks, and has been characterized by frustrating and endless glitches and technical errors. But, as the White House likes to claim, the crashes were caused by the high demand for “affordable” health care! (We now know that ObamaCare is not affordable at all.)

A quick analysis, however, pokes holes and sinks the White House’s desperate argument. Not only did less than half of 1 percent of the site’s visitors enroll for health insurance in the first week – but that “high demand” of traffic tapered off “within a matter of days!” According to a new report, traffic to HealthCare.gov plummeted by 88% from October 1, ObamaCare’s launch day, to October 13.

Check out the chart below.

From the Washington Post:

“The number of visitors to the federal government’s HealthCare.gov Web site plummeted 88 percent between Oct. 1 and Oct. 13, according to a new analysis of America’s online use, while less than half of 1 percent of the site’s visitors successfully enrolled for health insurance the first week…

“Based on a sample of two million users — or 1 percent of all online users in the U.S. — which Millward Brown Digital has permission to track, it suggests that the rush of traffic administration officials cited as the cause of the site’s problems trailed off within a matter of days.

“Of the 9.4 million unique visitors to the site during the launch’s first week, according to the analysis, roughly a third attempted to register, and a third of that number — 1.01 million — completed registration. Ultimately, roughly 36,000 Americans signed up for an insurance plan online, the report said.”
