  • As March 31 deadline approaches, the administration is nowhere near its original goal of 7 million signups – or its revised target of 6 million

  • Seven U.S. states, however, have released their paid/unpaid numbers, and those figures indicate that just 3.3 million have paid for insurance

  • A troubling survey from a health care consultancy found last week that just 27 per cent of enrollees were previously uninsured
