Oh, I was assuming you had actual numbers based on accounts from reports of people or something.
It just so happens that the actual enrollments numbers according to CBS are extremely embarrassing low from documents they have received. 6 People enrolled on the first day and by day 3 the total was 248 nationwide and that's straight from the insures.

Gruber and the CBO seem to be at odds with who will be cancelled and have to upgrade their policy to meet the ACA demands. It also looks like from the unions who are not pleased with how the ACA is going to affect their workers that Gruber might be wrong about the 3%.
The imbroglio began earlier this year when the union leaders realized that Obamacare was not actually beneficial to their members and pensioners. The Teamsters, United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, and UNITE HERE, which collectively have over 2.5 million members, sent a strongly-worded letter to the president demanding that changes be made so Obamacare would not hurt union workers.

Employers are going to and already are dropping employees and some are just dropping spouses getting ready for the 2014 employee deadline and they will end up having to buy individual plans also so you can see how Gruber's estimate looks fine in a perfect world but when reality sets in things are going to change big time.
