Obamacare may have promised health insurance for the masses. But on its first day, it’s left more Americans without coverage than before the law was passed.
More than 4.7 million Americans had their health insurance canceled as a result of any of the thousand-plus-page law’s new rules, the Associated Press reports, but the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) confirmed Tuesday that between federal and state exchanges, just 2 million Americans have signed up for Obamacare coverage.

The Obama
administration has yet to announce the final tally of full enrollments,
which are only confirmed once customers have made their first payment,
but Cato Institute health policy expert Michael Cannon warns that
not all those who signed up will complete their purchases, potentially
leaving the White House with an even lower bottom line.
