Brad, you are correct.

It is amazing how liberals will throw numbers around and know they will never be held to account when their utopian plans don’t work.

No msm news group ever questioned why the number of people who needed Obamacare was “47 million” for all the years prior to passage. But when their failed Obamacare signup began, they started talking about how they hoped they would get 8 million or 10 million to sign up.

There was supposed to be this deep group of deprived citizens who couldn’t wait to enlist, yet when the time came, less than a fourth actually did.

As you said, the entire healthcare system was jolted in order to accommodate perhaps 2%, no more than 4% of all health insurance participants. In addition, the workforce was jolted because the small businesses wanted to keep their number of full-time employees below 50 to avoid Obamacare mandates. So millions were forced to work part-time who needed full-time work.

Bottom line:

1. They lied about keeping your doctor if you wanted.
2. They lied about individuals saving $2500 per year.
3. They lied and changed legislative procedures to pass this monstrosity.
4. They lied about how smoothly the program would start-up.
5. They lied about how many people would benefit.
6. They lied about how much money would be saved against the deficit.
7. They lied about how much relief there would be in all the emergency rooms across the US.

And so on ....

If the website cost $5 BILLION, you knew the program would be a massive fraud and waste filled.

The twenty million would probably include about six million who lost their original insurance and had to enroll in Obamacare packages to essentially get back what they had before.....
