— Despite the disastrous rollout of the federal government's healthcare website, enrollment is surging in many states as tens of thousands of consumers sign up for insurance plans made available by President Obama's health law.

A number of states that use their own systems, including California, are on track to hit enrollment targets for 2014 because of a sharp increase in November, according to state officials.

"What we are seeing is incredible momentum," said Peter Lee, director of Covered California, the nation's largest state insurance marketplace, which accounted for a third of all enrollments nationally in October. California — which enrolled about 31,000 people in health plans last month — nearly doubled that in the first two weeks of this month.

Couple of points:

1) If Republicans hadn't tried to sabotage this program, it probably would be working well in most if not all states at this point
2) This all could have been avoided with a better federal website
3) As long as the website continues to get better, we should see the federal numbers tick up as well, the question is can they catch up
4) Will the media bother to report this information?
