FAILURES
Most states are still lagging when it comes to sign-ups under Obama’s health care law.
Huge disparities are emerging in how well states are living up to federal enrollment targets, and that will help determine if the White House reaches its unofficial goal of having 7 million signed up by the end of March.
The goal of 7 million by the end of March seems like a stretch.
Officials are unable to say how many of those who signed up were previously uninsured — the ultimate test of Obama’s hard-fought overhaul and they don’t know how many have sealed the deal by paying their premiums.
4 in 5 of those signing up were eligible for financial assistance with their premiums or out-of-pocket expenses.
Surprisingly, the worst performers include four jurisdictions where Obama’s law has strong support: Maryland, Massachusetts, Oregon and the District of Columbia.
