Topic: Enrollment Data

An attempt to sign up for health insurance through the federal exchange resulted in an immediate barrage of over 60 telemarketing calls from insurance brokers. The host describes how entering a phone number on Healthcare.gov led to invasive harassment from automated systems and brokers across multiple states. A live "troll" call during the segment illustrates the ongoing issue of data privacy and solicitation.

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew defends the healthcare.gov rollout, claiming millions of people "rushed" to the site as a positive sign of interest. The hosts perform a mathematical analysis of the administration's claim that the site was designed for 50,000 users per day, concluding that such a capacity would be insufficient to enroll the estimated 34 million uninsured Americans by the March 30th deadline.
