raggio and economics writer joe moore. what have we learned from sebelius appearance this week? not very much. she indicated the website and the larger architecture of the system are in much deeper trouble than we thought. hp hh. hhs is not even getting accurate enrollment data. they don t know either. right, it s think that s why they haven t been saying. we don t know when it will be fixed. they said the end of november but there s no guarantee. they didn t say which november. i think this could stretch out much longer than they re predicting. the other thing that s striking to me, and we heard the clip from the president say we re going to grind it out. three yards and a cloud of confused technology or whatever it is. politically, it means they re not going to bend on this. they re going to keep driving.

number is important, it s the makeup that will make or break the exchanges. how many are healthy? how many are sick? last fall, the administration projected young people, the crucial 18 to 34-year-old invincibles, that the insurers needed to subs dice the older, sicker enrollees, they wanted them to be 40% of the pool in the exchanges. so far, they have made up 27% of enrollees, in february, and 25% overall. the expectation is the number will inch up again when the final numbers are in. then the number hhs has not provided, the number of those who have signed up for health care previously uninsured, and questions for consumers, what will the premiums be next year? will insurance companies raise prices to increase profits or compensate for getting a higher percentage of enrollees? the idea that many folks signing up aren t paying for insurance, the ten states that have released the enrollment data, a full 83% have paid for their plans. of course, today s deadline is
