Democrats are touting the latest ObamaCare enrollment numbers as proof that the law is working.
The administration announced on Tuesday that 11.4 million people had signed up ahead of Sunday's deadline, a figure that puts the administration on track to beat its goal of 9.1 million enrollees. Republicans have been largely silent on the numbers.
Democrats are looking to show that the law is ingrained as an important part of people's lives ahead of Supreme Court arguments next month in King v. Burwell, a case that could gut the law by taking away subsidies that help people buy insurance.
Congressional Democrats tweeted the hashtag #11MillionAndCounting to emphasize that the law continues to expand.

What the hell is going on in this country? The morons and maggots are lining up in droves for a chance to kiss the Muzzie’s Kenyan @$$ before he leaves the White Hut and heads off into the sunset to Hawaii. This is totally unreal. It’s like almost everyone has never kissed a black guy’s @$$ before.
The only real increase is in Medicaid. That is where the “navigators” have focused. Healthy working young adults are still not signing up. Many are finding ways to go into the underground economy and avoid both premiums and taxes. The more the cost to a person increases, the more incentive the person has to avoid that cost.
