7.1 MILLION ENROLLEES IN THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT AT FIRST DEADLINE..............

Following the passage and enactment of the Obama Administration's Affordable Care Act national  healthcare plan,  the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) studies projected 7 million Americans would sign-up for the ACA, by the end of the first enrollment period March 31, 2014.  Despite the continuing political controversy swirling around the law, and the disasterous rollout of the sign-up website which caused the CBO to lower its projection to 6 million initial enrolles, when the March 31st deadline arrived this week, the number of Americans now enrolled is 7.1 million persons.  With the snafus of late 2013 with accessing the application process online all but arrested and a full court press by the White House in recent weeks to sign up new enrollees, theinitial goal was met.  The CBO is now projecting that by 2017, 24 million Americans will be enrolled  in the Affordable Care Act.  As the national healthcare law and  the politics associated with it continue to go forward, Insights Into Life And Faith, willblog and  report on pertinent developments..............fr.tdp
