We Don't Know The Most Important Obamacare Enrollment Number

Invincible Young People

"[T]here's one key number that's missing, a figure we absolutely need to understand whether the health care law can succeed. And that's the ratio of young enrollees to older enrollees...What's important here isn't necessarily the numbers but the ratio -- that for every three older people who sign up, the administration believes it needs to persuade two young people to obtain coverage. Right now, we don't know how close the White House is getting to that ratio." Sarah Kliff in The Washington Post
