Official: Obamacare on track to meet original goal

Washington (CNN) -- After a surge of sign-ups on the last day for open enrollment, Obamacare is on track to hit the White House's original target of 7 million people signing up, a senior administration official said Tuesday.

On Monday, more than 4.8 million visits were made to HealthCare.gov and 2 million calls were made to the call center, the official said.

The administration is awaiting final numbers from the federal and state exchanges, the official said.

The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office originally projected the 7 million target, which was embraced by administration officials.

so the Dems win back the House and increase their hold in the Senate. It was so cool to see the pics of the lines of people waiting to sign-up for ACA yesterday. It's also cool to see that ACA is gaining popularity amongst the American People.

Hopefully the American People have awaken to the sinister tactics of the Repubs and will make them pay for all the damage they have done to our economy; their attempts to suppress the vote and the lack of any cooperation with the President.
