Obama’s Failed Healthcare Law

I’m kidding with the headline, of course. It’s not failing at all. More proof:

Obamacare had its second-best enrollment month in January, adding more than 1 million people to its rolls, much improved from the law’s rough opening months. The drop was expected after December’s key enrollment deadline, but didn’t slow the sign-ups as much as anticipated.

The 1.1 million enrollments as of Feb. 1 bring the law’s total to 3.3 million – still behind its projected totals ahead of the Oct. 1 launch, which had anticipated that many sign-ups by the end of December. But after the law signed up a fraction of its expected enrollees in October and November – before HealthCare.gov was declared fixed – it’s continued positive news for the law, administration officials said.
