MEGYN KELLY, FOX NEWS HOST: Back now to our top story tonight. The administration releasing the first ObamaCare enrollment numbers just a few hours ago. Less than 27,000 people have selected a plan from the Feds. Less than 80,000 people have signed up through the state exchanges. A few weeks ago one of the architects of ObamaCare joined me. And I asked Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel about this very issue. Watch.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
KELLY: We are not on track. We are not anywhere near on track for that right now.
DR. EZEKIEL EMANUEL, CENTER FOR AMERICAN PROGRESS SENIOR FELLOW: Excuse me.
KELLY: The latest numbers we have and Ms. Sebelius won't tell us exactly what it is. But the latest numbers that we have from the research service suggest it's about 129,000 people.
EMANUEL: Ms. Kelly, as I have repeatedly said whatever the number is today is totally irrelevant. Because people are not going to buy until round about thanksgiving.
KELLY: All right.
EMANUEL: For a January 1st start line.
KELLY: All right. Here's my last question.
EMANUEL: You cannot project from today's enrollment.
KELLY: Understood. OK. I get your point. Here is my last question here.
EMANUEL: So, you are claiming we are not on track. You have no idea whether we're on track or not.

[VIDEO] ‘LET HIM FINISH!’: CHRIS WALLACE BRIEFLY LOSES CONTROL OF HIS SHOW AFTER PANEL ERUPTS IN OBAMACARE ARGUMENT

Chris Wallace appeared to briefly lose control of his show Sunday morning as his two panelists erupted in a spirited argument over President Barack Obama’s signature health care law.

The American Enterprise’s James Capretta was skewering the president on “Fox News Sunday” for not keeping his “if you like your plan, you can keep it” pledge when Ezekiel Emanuel, who helped craft the law, repeatedly interjected.

“Remember the individual—” Emanuel said, in his first attempt to interrupt Capretta.

“Let him finish, please!” Wallace told the Obamacare architect.

But that didn’t seem to quell the lively debate.

“Wait a second, the individual market, before Obamacare, could throw you off when you got a disease. Insurance could rack up your—” Emanuel interjected, again.

“That’s not what we are talking about here,” Capretta said over Emanuel.

“Dr. Emanuel, let him finish,” Wallace then said.

“No!” replied Emanuel.

After the spirited debate concluded, Wallace jokingly scolded Capretta saying “don’t talk while he’s interrupting.”

ObamaCare architect defends plan, says president not to blame for rollout glitches

WASHINGTON –  The architect of the Affordable Care Act insisted on “Fox News Sunday” that President Obama isn’t to blame for the rocky rollout of ObamaCare and deflected charges that the administration misled Americans about being able to keep their current health plans.

Ezekiel Emanuel, a bioethicist, was part of the president’s health care reform team for two years and is the brother of former Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.

“We grandfathered in plans,” Emanuel said.

Host Chris Wallace pressed Emanuel to defend the growing number of cancellation notices sent to people whose plans changed after the law was implemented, but Emanuel could not.

Instead, he blamed much of the problems on insurance companies and not the new law.

“The law does not say ‘Sears drop coverage!’ Sears decides what’s good for Sears,” Emanuel said. “The insurance decides how to make money. When the private companies decide to drop an individual, you blame Obama. He isn’t responsible for that.”
