Yesterday the AP reported on a leaked memo showing sign up targets for the new healthcare.gov website:

The Sept. 5 memo, for Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, lists monthly enrollment targets for each state and Washington, D.C., through March 31, the last day of the initial open enrollment period under President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.

In the memo, officials estimated that 494,620 people would sign up for health insurance under the program by Oct. 31. And that was portrayed as a slow start....The memo projected enrollment would reach 3.3 million nationally by Dec. 31.
