Only 106,185 people picked out private health plans under ObamaCare in its first month, well below the administration’s expectations.
Federal officials announced Wednesday that 26,794 of those people had enrolled through HealthCare.gov, the error-ridden online system that has turned the rollout of the health insurance exchanges into a political nightmare for President Obama.
Details about those people remain scarce. The administration provided no information on the demographic makeup of the initial enrollees, including their ages and whether they had paid their first premium, the threshold for full enrollment.
