Emphasis on the word trying.
Yesterday, CNN confirmed that 52,000 Obamacare applications had been started on sites associated with the 24 states that have their own exchanges, and Jake Tapper is now attempting to find out the number of people enrolled (or attempting to enroll) through the federal site:
@HealthCareTara @pfeiffer44 @PressSec hey guys, any numbers on Obamacare enrollees? Thanks for your help
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) October 5, 2013
Unsurprisingly there has been no response as yet.
What, numbers like these from Labor Secretary Seth Harris aren’t good enough for you? You want to know actual enrollees?
Results are in: #America desperately wants #Obamacare. 8.6M visits to http://t.co/bj5ulx1rxa since 10/1. http://t.co/UGquW59KJl #GetCovered

The response is usually the number of website hits, but of course that has nothing to do with how many people are attempting to enroll.

.@Jimi971 @jaketapper Why the silence from @Whitehouse on their prized "achievement" @HealthCareTara @pfeiffer44 @PressSec? #TrainWreck

@jaketapper Whatever number they give you, divide it by about 25 to get the truth. Don't fall for their propaganda. #Obamacare

Hey Jake, somebody found one:
@jaketapper @HealthCareTara @pfeiffer44 @PressSec I heard some some kid named Chad enrolled. Lives in a basement apt. at daddy's house.
