There are 4.4 million people in KY, and likely a lot of them don't have insurance.
I find 7k to be a rather light total in 10 days. If you extrapolate that out, that's less than 240,000 in one year, or roughly 5.4% of the population.
There is plenty of time, but I think the early demand will be considerably higher than the demand at the 1 year mark. If they can't muster up 100,000 people by the end of the year in a state as poor as KY, then that lets me know that either:
a) there is not nearly as much demand as the administration thought
b) the product is so expensive nobody wants it
I seriously doubt if its too expensive in states like Kentucky. Unless a lot of people fall outside the 400% fpl in Kentucky most people will get a subsidy. Average family income in Kentucky is $42,000. A family of four would only pay $326 per month.
Hawaii Relaunching Obamacare Exchange After Not Selling Any Health Insurance Due To Software Problems
HONOLULU — Hawaii’s health insurance marketplace is hoping to turn around a stalled start by providing plans and pricing to consumers by Oct. 15 — but there are no guarantees, its executive director said Wednesday.
Kentucky has signed up 7K people on its state site. Apparently it is a well written app, showing that there is considerable demand if they had an application that would work properly. Pretty early to be calling in the final results, don't you think? There is plenty of time.
Uh, helloooooooooooo! Anybody home in your head?
This thread is about Hawaii.
Kentucky is way on the other side of the country.
There's a little button that says "New Thread" if you wish to discuss Kentucky.
I see that there are computer and technical issue which is what happened when Medicare Part D (Bush's baby) was first rolled out. It was called a disaster then...not so much anymore though.
OP...you are attempting to make a mockery of something that has already saved lives, which means that you are the one that deserves to be mocked...

Hawaii has had an employer mandate in place since 1975, so there aren't very many potential Obamacare customers there anyway.
Or anywhere else for that matter.... Or at least any that will be able to afford it once they see what a bag of manure the law is.. Can't wait until the taxes kick in up to 2.5 percent LMAO.. Folks ***** about 10.00 now wait until they start taking the Obamacare taxes out because they couldn't afford a 10k deductible and 30% copayment!
Pass the popcorn please..
