Obamacare Poster Boy Chad Henderson and His Dad Haven’t Signed Up for Obamacare, Says His Father

Chad Henderson is the media’s poster boy for Obamacare. Reporters struggled this week to find individuals who said they had been able to enroll in one of the law’s 36 federally run health-insurance exchanges.

That changed yesterday, when they found Henderson, a 21-year-old student and part-time child-care worker who lives in Georgia and says that he successfully enrolled himself and his father Bill in insurance plans via the online exchange administered at healthcare.gov.

But in an exclusive phone interview this morning with Reason, Chad father's Bill contradicted virtually every major detail of the story the media can't get enough of. What's more, some of the details that Chad has released are also at odds with published rate schedules and how Obamacare officials say the enrollment system works.

Chad seems to have sought out media attention for his story. He first said he had enrolled in coverage on the evening of October 1, in a tweet that also included the Twitter handles of local news organizations Times Free Press and WRCB.

"The response to my story from earlier in the week has been overwhelming!," he wrote in a Facebook update last night. "Here's an update: I've now been interviewed by The Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Chattanooga Times Free Press, The Huffington Post, Enroll America, and POLITICO!!"

If people keep signing up at the rate of 1 to 5 per day, how long will it take for everyone to be signed up? Hmm. A while, I think.

It’s reported “Chad” is a Dem activist, a member of Obammy’s Brownshirts and a card-carrying Dem Party member.

There’s a series of “Star Wars”-based comments about the article at Reason.com that is positively hilarious.

The guy’s dad, Bill, is a loser too. He is a street vendor who works only during the summer months. Every other post on Bill’s Twitter feed is a retweet of a DNC post or a White House post.
