it s fox & friends ! now the kids have to pay? yeah, it s about time. i can t wait to til kate lynn. shake the piggy bank. we ll find out how much she has in the account. good morning, everybody. good morning. we were waiting. yeah. the numbers, they re not good. they re officially bad actually. take a look at what we re finding out here from the administration releasing numbers for the first time. we have only 26,794 through the federal exchanges. that s all? that s it. 79,391 through state exchanges. 106,185 people selected health plans on the new exchanges. pay attention to that word selected. about 3% of what they wanted it and they were targeted for. they wanted 500,000 by now. sure. that would be fantastic if they had that number. in the meantime, while they only signed up 26,000 on the federal
they are worse than even predicted. 26,794 have signed up in the federal exchanges and 79,391 enrolled in the state exchanges. do the math that brings the whopping total of enrollees to 106,185. the numbers falling far short of the administration s goals. doug luzader is live with the latest. they were expecting 500,000 or so in the first month. the whitous did tits best to tap down expectations. far more americans have lost their health insurance as a result of obamacare than gained it. this is going to ramp up pressure on the president in a big way as the white house struggles to stave off democratic defection. nervous members of congress who already fear voter backlash may be able to join republicans in an effort including one this week to change the law and prevent some of these mass
