Look I am the first to be upset at how much healthcare.gov management and dev sucked.

But I don't give a darn how many signed up on the first day.

I care how many sign up by December 31st.

Then we can discuss enrollment problems.

No, the date is Dec. 15th. If your one of the apparently millions whose plan didn't meet the new guidelines then you must sign up by Dec. 15th.

The Dec 15th date is for open enrollment and coverage starting January 1. The mandate deadline is March 15. I think you have them confused.
