Republicans attack slow pace of Obamacare enrollments

By David Morgan WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Obama administration touted improvements to its new health insurance website on Wednesday and opposition Republicans shifted their criticism to the slow pace of early enrollments and fears some people may be left uninsured when coverage starts on January 1. U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, in her third congressional hearing since the disastrous October 1 rollout of the website at the center of President Barack Obama's policy overhaul, sought to reassure lawmakers that steps were being taken to find out what went wrong and to install a stronger management team. U.S. officials reported on Wednesday that about 365,000 people signed up for healthcare coverage in October and November through the federal HealthCare.gov website and online portals to 14 other marketplaces operated by individual states. Republicans questioned the veracity of the numbers.
