Officials: People Returning To HealthCare.gov 'In Droves'

Nearly three-fourths of those who have purchased health insurance on HealthCare.gov since early December were people returning to the site after visiting in October and November, according to senior administration officials.

A survey on the federal website found that 73 percent of those who had completed enrollment in recent weeks said they had first come to the site in the previous two months, officials said. The Obama administration did not declare the site fully fixed until Dec. 1.

The officials touted the figure as evidence that people were giving HealthCare.gov a second chance after its disastrous launch, which had raised questions about whether frustrated consumers would abandon the sign-up process.

"I think we can definitively say that we just haven't seen that," one official said. "Folks have come back, and they're coming back in droves."

1. "73% of

What total" Certainly not linked by, or in your post.
73% of what total people? Wishful thinking will not make a small number of recipients or enrollments bigger because of a misdirection # of73%....73% of 10million or 73% of 100thousand.

I signed up in the NY exchange(nystateofhealth....) after a fuster cluck of poor design...but I did get through after weeks of trying. I know for a fact NY's bulk sign ups are in the expanded Medicaid which is as designed...
