Forget all of the misinformation about how many people have signed up or applied.
An unknown blogger by the name of "Brainwrap" has a spreadsheet that has better information than all of the MSM media put together.
In the spreadsheet he has a link for every number.
The 700,000 applications are only for states with their own exchanges and doesn't include any from the national website. That doesn't mean the decisions are final or people are enrolled, we won't get those figures until January.

They also have a link to the IRS numbers. These are people who have gotten far enough into the system that they responded to the "do you want to see if you qualify for a subsidy" question. IRS reports 330,000 hits have been received already.

More than 330,000 people have managed to get deep enough into new government health insurance Web sites to learn how much financial assistance they will receive purchasing coverage, the Internal Revenue Service said Saturday.

Of course the pukes rigged it in states where GOP Governors didn't expands medicare or sign onto the exchange idea.

Most larger blue states do have them so state exchanges probably will account for more than half.
