White House: For Obamacare website, 20 percent failure rate best we can do
The White House began grading itself on a curve for Obamacare enrollment Monday, claiming that a goal of 80 percent recruitment among all users of the website would be nearly the best result possible.
With the administration unlikely to meet its Nov. 30 deadline for making the website fully operational, President Obama’s aides offered the new explanation that some consumers never would have signed up online anyway. Therefore, they said, 80 percent enrollment would be a success.

White House confirms 1 in 5 Americans won’t be able to enroll via HealthCare.gov 
White House press secretary Jay Carney confirmed Monday that one in five Americans will not be able to sign up for insurance through HealthCare.gov even if the administration meets its Nov. 30 deadline for fixing the online enrollment system.
The Washington Post first reported the administration's internal target Sunday.
"I think the way to look at that figure is that of, say, 10 who go on the system, roughly two won't get through the system," Carney said.
