Americans for Prosperity Comments on Analysis Showing that Only 36,000 Nationally Signed Up for ObamaCare after Website Launch<\/p>\n

MANCHESTER \u2013 Americans for Prosperity \u2013 New Hampshire (AFP-NH) today called out the effectiveness of the ObamaCare enrollment website after a new analysis showed that over the first week of the website\u2019s launch, over 99.6% of the visitors did not enroll in the program. The evaluation, done by Kantar US Insights and Millward Brown Digital, shows that of the 9.5 million visitors to the Healthcare.gov website only 36,000 individuals completed enrollment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese miserable results show why even former Obama Administration officials are calling for heads to roll over the implementation of ObamaCare,\u201d said Greg Moore, AFP-NH State Director. \u201cThe rollout of this poorly conceived law has been as bad as the consequences of the policy. It\u2019s no wonder that the sponsor of the bill called the way the Administration was putting it in place a train wreck. Instead of affordable health insurance, Americans are stuck with broken promises, higher health care costs, limited access to care and a system that\u2019s clearly not ready for primetime.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Capitol newspaper, The Hill, quotes the author of the analysis as calling the website\u2019s performance \u201catrocious\u201d and described the site as being \u201cunprepared\u201d to launch. AFP-NH said this evidence shows why ObamaCare should be delayed from implementation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen big business complained that the employer mandate tax wasn\u2019t ready to be put in place, the President delayed it for a year, at minimum,\u201d added Moore. \u201cWhen insurance companies said that out-of-pocket caps would cause major problems, the President delayed those as well. When Congress protested having to live under the same rules as the rest of the country through ObamaCare, he gave them a special subsidy. Now that the American people, by their inability to use a terribly flawed website, are sending a message to the President that the individual mandate and the health insurance exchanges aren\u2019t ready, why won\u2019t he give them the same benefit that he\u2019s given to special interests and the well-connected?\u201d<\/p>\n
