This number is almost meaningless, the only stat that counts is how many of the 3.3 million are fully enrolled by paying for their first month’s premium. They know what it is but still refuse to release it, so you know it must be bad.

The Obama administration announced Wednesday that 3.3 million people had signed up for Obamacare by Feb. 1, still short of original projections but an uptick in enrollment over the past month.

In January, 1.1 million people signed up for a new health plan through the federal and state exchanges. Health and Human Service SecretaryKathleen Sebelius said that enrollment in January had increased by 53 percent compared to the past three months.

However, that figure reflects just how dismal sign-ups were in the wake of the botched rollout of healthcare.gov on Oct. 1. The administration originally estimated roughly 4.4 million people would enroll in Obamacare by the end of January.

“These encouraging trends show that more Americans are enrolling every day, and finding quality, affordable coverage in the Marketplace,” Sebelius said. “There is still plenty of time for you and your family to sign up in a private plan of your choice, so visit healthcare.gov to learn more and sign up. Open enrollment ends March 31.”
