One in four Americans who have signed up for Obamacare using the glitch-prone HealthCare.gov site may not be insured in time for the beginning of new year due to errors, it was revealed Friday.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicare Services (CMS) announced that some 25 per cent of insurance applications filed on the Internet market exchange in October and November could contain mistakes.

According to officials, many of the glitches with have since been resolved, but the current error rate still hovers around 10 per cent.

The Obama administration has urged any applicants who used the HealthCare.gov portal to sign for health coverage to contact their insurance provider immediately, ABC News reported.

If no record of their application could be found, people will have to start the enrollment process from scratch.

Between October 1, when the Obamacare website was unveiled, and December 2, more than 155,000 signed up for insurance through the error-plagued federal exchange.

that's 75k per month, considering 44 million are uninsured, that would average to 586 moths just for the uninsured to sign up.

that's 75k per month, considering 44 million are uninsured, that would average to 586 moths just for the uninsured to sign up.

44 million are unsinsured, but 2/3rd of Americans opposed Obamacare from day 1, so that reduces the number who need it and support it to 14.6 million. Now factor what percentage of that 14.6 million that can afford $300-$500 a month for Obamacare insurance. It just makes sense that there won't be many people signing up for it.
