More than 7 million people have signed up for health insurance using the new online exchanges, White House spokesman Jay Carney said Tuesday, fueled by a last-minute deluge of enrollees that climaxed with 4.8 million visits on Monday alone.I admit there were times I had my doubts, but Obama did it, he's an inspiration for others who set tough goals, don't give up just because others say it can't be done.
It’s a number that exceeded all hopes after a glitchy rollout last October and it’s likely to grow as people who got in line but didn’t finish the process complete their applications over the coming weeks.“With the remarkable surge in enrollment, 7,041,000 signed up for health insurance before the midnight deadline yesterday. And that doesn't count the last day's surge of signups in more than a dozen states that run their own marketplaces,” Carney told a news briefing Tuesday.
“We surpassed the 7 milllion mark with the over 200,000 people who enrolled yesterday in states run by the federal government alone. President Obama stood fast over the years, despite numerous attempts to undermine ACA, millions now have affordable good insurance, ACA is an overwhelming success, it's here to stay. Now it's time to put partisan bickering aside and move on to improving our job situation, President Obama has extended his hand to Congress and is ready to take on challenges that still face the United States.”
