States running their own Obamacare insurance exchanges are reporting a significant surge in sign-ups just four days before the first major enrollment deadline.
The increase has ranged from 30 percent to 40 percent in the past few weeks, according to state officials who briefed reporters Wednesday. Monday is the last day to sign up for a plan that will guarantee health coverage effective Jan. 1.
California, which has one of the most successful programs, averaged 15,000 enrollments a day last week, up from an average 7,000 a day the week before, state officials said. In all of November, 80,000 Californians picked a plan; in the first week of December, 50,000 signed up.
My doodness, whatever are you going to do when your 8-week old talking-points don't work anymore? You're gonna need some new material from the Fact-Free, Source-Free echo-chamber.
Here's your "surge" tool...
Total countrywide enrollment in ACA and Medicaid/CHIP up to December 2013... wait for it... 364,682.
Enrollment hoped for by March 2014... wait for it... 7 million.
And they "claim" they don't have a demographic breakdown of ages etc. Bull crap.

I'm sorry...What does any of that have to do with the question I asked?

And what does Obama heading off for vacation (at the same time the House and the Senate are heading off for vacation), have to do with anything? But hey, you got to use "Obama" in a sentence...
That was a fraud from the very beginning. The law was designed to throw people off their private plans and into government-run exchanges where they would be made to overpay — forced to purchase government-mandated services they don’t need — as a way to subsidize others. (That’s how you get to the ostensible free lunch.)
It wasn’t until the first cancellation notices went out in late 2013 that the deception began to be understood. And felt. Six million Americans with private insurance have just lost it. And that’s just the beginning. By the Department of Health and Human Services’ own estimates, about 75 million Americans would have plans that their employers would have the right to cancel. And millions of middle-class workers who will migrate to the exchanges and don’t qualify for government subsidies will see their premiums, deductibles and co-pays go up.
It gets worse. The dislocation extends to losing one’s doctor and drug coverage, as insurance companies narrow availability to compensate for the huge costs imposed on them by the extended coverage and “free” services the new law mandates.
Carolyn Lawson, the embattled state technology executive who oversaw much of the development of Oregon’s troubled health insurance exchange, has resigned for personal reasons.
It was Lawson, chief information officer at the Oregon Health Authority, who decided the state could manage the complex exchange project itself, rather than hire a private-sector systems integrator, a decision since criticized by her superiors. Lawson also was close to Oracle Corp., the California technology giant that has been blamed for doing shoddy work and repeatedly missing deadlines. …
As The Oregonian reported Sunday, the exchange has been plagued by poor work by Oracle. Miscues by state managers have also figured prominently in the exchange’s issues.
An August 2012 report from the project’s quality assurance contractor found the exchange project was disorganized, lacked basic management and budget controls to ensure contractor performance. The exchange’s fate was further endangered by distrust and lack of communication between Lawson’s Oregon Health Authority and Cover Oregon, the public corporation that took over responsibility for the exchange’s contracts in May 2013.
Oregon's total enrollment through the state exchange... zero... and it only cost the taxpayers 161 million dollars. Enrollment by paper and the 400 extra people they hired to try to take up the slack... 730... quite a "surge."
HealthCare.gov goes down as Dec. 23 deadline looms

With less than two hours to go before President Obama is scheduled to give his year-end news conference, people are not able to apply for health insurance on HealthCare.gov.
The home page is still present, but when one tries to apply for a health plan, the site says the "system is down." A message on the screen says it is part of "scheduled maintenance."
