The Daily Mail reports that only 51,000 people signed up for Obamacare via Healthcare.gov during its first week, falling far short of the Obama administration’s expectations.

MailOnline credits “two sources inside the Department of Health and Human Services with providing “an exclusive look at the earliest enrollment numbers”:

“The career civil servants, who process data inside the agency, confirmed independently that just 6,200 Americans applied for health insurance through the problem-plagued website on October 1, the day it first opened to the public.”
