first, to our kate rogers on the numbers that really matter. kate, you know, you know the drill better than anyone. these are the things we follow, folks, how many of the enrollees are new, net new enrollees, how many are young, crucial to providing the means which which we pay for all of this, and perhaps most importantly how many of them are paying, young or old? let's start with that last one then, kate. how many are paying for the privilege? >> well, that's a question that i wish i had an answer for you, neil, but we still don't know. like you said, late in the day yesterday we hear 5 million new enrollees have selected plans on both state and federal exchanges. now the language that the department of health and human services uses is key here, because selecting plans does not mean that you've paid your first month's premium, and that's important because the insurance industry counts you as enrolled once you actually write your check for that first month, so we don't know how many have actually paid, but there's reports out there that 80% of

kate rogers went into the street to find out why a lot of young people are doing this. >> i kept hearingame three things over and over again. i have coverage for my parents because i'm under age 26. i tried to sign up, but the website did not work. and there's a deadline coming up i did not know i had to enroll by that point. >> leave is the signing of for obamacare? >> it's an option. >> may be. not right now. >> i know that the time is running out. i believe i will. >> you tried once and were not able to. >> i sat and tried probably for two or three hours on the website. it was down the entire time. >> you say you have insurance already. >> i mean from what i was reading my insurance will go up by 30, 35%. that's unfair to people who have insurance. >> why are you not signing up? >> i can stay on my parents' insurance. >> uncovered currently under my parents' insurance. i will need to. >> as you can see, obamacare lets people stay on their parents' plan. a lot of this group were taking an option. they all had jobs where they could have gotten insurance from their employer but said that

over to kate rogers and the hell on the business and political fallout of this.ot surprised by this. so why don't they just call it a day? >> everyone was talking and talking and saying that the political implications are pretty obvious. but this will have a ripple effect because the party spent millions complying with the law because they have these risk provisions were they have to do this and eventually it will be hitting consumers. neil: i think it's politically true and you can't keep changing it. but we can't delay the inevitable. i think that americans are disruption this or what? >> yes, that is right. politically you couldn't have these cancellations going out weeks before the november election. so i think initially the administration thought if we take it out one year. they want to gain 90 days before you cancel. neil: so was that transparent and crafts. and it really was all about that, wasn't it? >> yes, it was. i talk to someone a couple of days before it happened and this was a no-brainer. they have to do this in the white house says that it's not a

we are all over it with kate rogers. pat on the very restless passengers on it and rudy giuliani on what republicans are gaining from it. fast moving. the numbers are in and don't look different. 4.2 million americans have selected plans. this is up from 4 million in late february. nowhere near the administration's official goal. remember vice president bide enadmitted maybe 5 or 6 million would enroll. that would mean 95,000 people would have to enroll every day until july 1. lance bass, a former member of the group in sync stopping by the white house to talk health care. right now on 25% of enrollees are between the ages of 18 to 34. and another thing to remember here, is that hhs continues to say these enrollees selected plans. enrolled once you make your first month's premium payment. we have no clue how many of these people have paid. under the health care law everyone in the country has to have insurance or they're going to face the fine of $95 a year. and the deadline is drawing near. neil. >> incredible. it's you

joining us is kate rogers with more. >> the affordable care act was meant to provide greater access toealth care by making it cheaper, particularly for the uninsured but a new survey finds the price point for coverage still isn't low enough to get this group enrolled. one third of uninsured americans plan to remain uninsured despite the obamacare mandate they have to have cover janl. one thing might be they don't realize they have subsidies out there. 70% of uninsured say they were not aware of the premium tax credit that the law provides for low income americans. those making up to 400% of the federal poverty level at about $45,000 per year for an individual and $94,000 for a family of four are eligible for subsidies to decrease their monthly premium payments. monthly premiums are about $325 for a mid tier silver plan without any subsidies. the young and uninsured are also not flocking to enroll in coverage. nearly 30% of 18 to 29-year-olds plan to remain uninsured. administration has been heavily targeting this group, most recently with president obama appearing on the parity show to
