Midknight Review -- new and revised: ObamaCare: After Day #2, it is still a mess. We now know that 36 of the 50 states opted out of the program at some level . . . . and the report gets worse.

ObamaCare was to feature state exchanges set up and run by the 50 individual states. Because of a Supreme Court decision allowing states to refuse to cooperate or run these exchanges, only 14 states, mostly under Democrat control, agreed to the ObamaCare plan. The Federal Government had not intended to set up any of these exchanges. Instead, Central Planning is having to spend money, time, and furnish the staff it had not allocated, to setup and run 36 of the state exchanges, at a huge but untold additional expense to the Federal Government (i.e., the taxpayers).

In Louisiana, no one signed up for ObamaCare.

Ditto in Florida, but because the state exchange was not functional.

"It's day two of health care reform, and we have yet to have someone successfully register on the marketplace” said a spokesman for the state exchange in Pennsylvania.

CNN could not find any enrollees in South Carolina

We have Gallup telling us that 25% of Americans have no plans to sign up for Central Insurance. If these are the healthy ones, the program is in more trouble than folks are admitting.

North Dakota is reporting disturbing problems there.

Only 7,700 Californians have begun their applications. It is not known how many have been able to complete the process. California is one of the 14 states setting up their own exchanges, at a huge future cost to its tax paying base. Update: Yesterday, California reported 5 million hits for ObamaCare. Today, it had to admit that only 645,000 inquired with just 7,700 beginning the process.

We are being told that only 1% of the 2 million inquiring about Central Planning insurance have actually begun the process of application.

In Oregon, faulty insurance calculators cannot be fixed before the end of October.

Hawaii has reported massive problems and few have even inquired, because again, of the mess in that state.

Currently, there are some 50 million uninsured Americans, for whatever reasons. According to the AP, the Administration hopes to sign up only 7 million of these folks in the first year of the program. In the end, most estimates have more than 30 million folks uninsured, after the program is fully implemented ---- far short of the “universal” rhetorical crap the Administration initially presented to the voting public.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
