Oops! Administration Erred on Health Law Sign-Ups
ABC News ^ | November 20, 2014 | By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR

The Obama administration acknowledged Thursday it has been over-reporting the number of people signed up under the health care law, a discrepancy that congressional Republicans seeking to repeal the program say they uncovered.

Administration spokesman Aaron Albright said that the overcount involved about 400,000 people.

Those consumers have separate dental coverage in addition to a medical plan, and were double-counted by mistake, said Albright. They had purchased both the medical and dental plans through HealthCare.gov and state insurance markets created under the law.

That means the correct number of people enrolled for medical coverage as of Oct. 15 is about 6.7 million, not the 7.1 million that Burwell has been citing.

The discrepancy was uncovered by Republican investigators for the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, poring over sign-up spreadsheets.

I wasn’t really following it, but someone on Foxnews last night said that the WH web site is saying that 15 million signed up for 2014.

I think she just is old, made up her mind, and won’t change it for nothing!
Nice lady, we get along fine, but her politics are whacked! I don’t understand it because both the in-laws are really pretty conservative people otherwise. Attend a WELS church, but just completely whacked out politically. I think mom would take a bullet for Obama it’s that bad.
