FARGO – The Obama administration asked North Dakota’s largest health insurer not to publicize how many people have signed up for health insurance through a new online exchange, a company official says.
During a Monday forum in Fargo for people interested in signing up for coverage via the exchange, James Nichol of Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota told the crowd his company received the request from the federal government earlier Monday. Nichol is a consumer sales manager for the company.
Still, a spokeswoman from Blue Cross Blue Shield says about 14 North Dakotans have signed up for coverage since the federal exchange went live Oct. 1. That brings total statewide enrollment to 20 – less than one a day.

The total population of North Dakota is about 700,000. For comparison the entire STATE of N Dakota has roughly the same population as the CITY of El Paso Texas, Charlotte N Carolina or Memphis Tennessee.

14 people is not 15%(the number of uninsured)of 700,000.

The post is Shadow's not mine. His posts have proven to be unreliable in the past. Who knows if his numbers are correct or not.
I merely pointed out that when comparing states, all states are not equal in size or population.

You forget that N Dakota is a red REPUBLICAN state. With that handicap it's doubtful that a Red State can tie their shoes with out added instruction. Give them time... they will learn.

On the brighter side, REPUBLICAN Kentucky is leading the nation in signups for ObamaCare (in spite of it's two Republican Senators who oppose ObamaCare).
Quoted Text
Kentucky's Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear has great things to say about the launch of Obamacare in his state. "We're signing up people at roughly a thousand a day. It's a great rate and a great success so far." Asked about Republican Sens. Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul, Kentucky's two senators and staunch opponents of Obamacare, the governor said: "critics of the law are not paying attention to the facts; they weave a web of misinformation."
Likewise, in Washington state, has more than 35,000 people enrolled in the first three weeks of the program.
Oregon, reduced its uninsured population by 10 percent in just the first two weeks.

"Ohio Gov. John Kasich has kicked up a political storm by circumventing his legislature to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. Conservatives don't like Obamacare, the expansion, or the techniques by which their determined Republican governor made it happen, and they're already challenging him in court.
Yet Kasich may have strengthened his hand going into his 2014 reelection race.

You got me there...You left wing drones know how to follow instructions. Especially instructions to file for government entitlements. Critical thinking isn't your strong suit.

YES! You finally understand. Health Care in America is a right... just like in the rest of the developed world. There is no reason (except for republican greed) that every American can't have affordable health care.

I said entitlement...yes, I understand, my premiums must go up, or my hours cut to 29 hours, to pay for somebody else's entitlement. Yup, perfectly clear how it works(or in this case, doesn't work)

Analysis: Little evidence yet that Obamacare costing full-time jobs (Reuters) Sayin' it's so does not make it so! (unless you watch FoxSnooze)
Quoted Text
There is little evidence that employers are sacrificing full-time jobs by hiring more part-timers or reducing existing employee hours because of the costs of providing health coverage under Obamacare. There is little discernible impact in the employment figures released in recent months, including the September numbers out on Tuesday. The number of people with part-time jobs who want full-time work, for example, was essentially flat in September at 7.9 million.
"We are not seeing any effect in the data," Jason Furman, chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, told Reuters Insider.
