The White House released long awaited numbers in relation to the rollout of Obamacare through the glitchy Healthcare.gov website. Only 26,574 people have successfully signed up and enrolled in a healthcare plan through the site. That includes those who have and have not paid the first month premiums. Healthcare.gov is the marketplace that serves 34 states including Pennsylvania. Another 79,391 people have completed enrollment through the 16 other state-run exchanges, bringing the total to 106,185. The White House says that 26.8 million people visited the site and that more than 3 million people have used the phone. They also say that 975,407 successfully applied for insurance but haven't yet enrolled in a plan. 396,261 were deemed eligible for Medicaid or CHIP.

A South Jersey man has been charged with killing his wife in an apparent failed-murder suicide attempt. The Burlington County Prosecutor's Office announced that 83-year-old William Coggins has been charged with the murder of his 81-year-old wife Laura Coggins. Last week police were called to the Coggins' home on the 800 block of Westfield Drive in Cinnaminson, NJ, by William's brother. Laura was found with multiple stab wounds. William had stab wounds on his chest and lacerations on his arm. Those were determined to be self-inflicted. Bail has been set at $500,000 with the condition of a court ordered psychiatric evaluation.
