kentuc kentucky, so i know they weren t doing it for me. in kentucky, nearly 11,000 people applied for new insurance plans in the first two days, just in one state, kentucky. the bluegrass state has seemed to figure it out despite some early glitches, unlike dozens of other states. kentucky does not use the federal government s crash-prone obama care site. so far, more than 16,000 kentuckyians as of today have started with almost 11,000 applications completed. the wall street journal looked into why kentucky has been so successful and credited intensive testing of the system beforehand along with a focus on function over flair. while we couldn t get numbers for the federal site, for the 24 states that have their own exchanges, cnn could only confirm based on the states that could provide data that around 52,000 insurance applications have been started online. we look forward to the white house sharing more information about the president s signature legislative achievement. comin
