Obamacare enrollee in media spotlight hasn’t completed signup process
Politico ^ | 10/4/13 | KYLE CHENEY

Posted on 10/05/2013 8:39:09 AM PDT by jimbo123

The Georgia college student who basked in national media attention after claiming he and his dad were among the first to enroll in Obamacare is changing his story.

“I never said that I had actually purchased a plan,” said Chad Henderson, 21, who was thrust into the national spotlight after announcing Tuesday on Twitter that he had “enrolled in Obamacare.” He told POLITICO Friday he had been online to shop in the federal exchange, but had never completed the final steps of getting in the health plan.

Henderson, an Organizing for Action volunteer and supporter of President Barack Obama, said he was “sorry for this confusion” and never intended to mislead the numerous media outlets, including POLITICO, that contacted him to hear his story.

Organizing for Lying is a more appropriate name.

This is nothing short of treason. He used lying propaganda to entice the expansion of a Socialist takeover.

Federal government’s ok with that.

They got enough info from him when he started to sign up that he’s first on their list for the IRS to levy the fine.

If the Obamedia hadn’t begged for this poor creature to tell his success story, perhaps this liar wouldn’t have jumped at the chance for his first, and only, 15 minutes of fame. What a pathetic bunch these shameless Obama cultists are!

Wasn’t he the one who said that he had insurance for $39/mo and then found out throught the exchange that he qualified for Medicaid for free, only to find out later that he signed up for $179/mo???

Has he settled on a story yet???

First this.....Signing up on the federal online marketplace wasn’t easy. Henderson said it him three hours to get an account. After that, he said, shopping for insurance was more simple..... “It’s like looking at a Verizon Wireless phone comparison,” he told Politico.<

Then this...I never said I had acutally purchased a plan...?

People, you are looking at a future Dem Presidential candidate here.

Just another dumb ass Obama voter heard from. It’s because of people like this that we are saddled with Obama.

One lying Obama yout is trivial.

Hundreds of MSM reporters uncritically swallowing the bullshirt and spreading the story is the issue.

Agree !!!

Not just uncritical, but willing accomplices in spreading this fraud.

I suspect we will soon hear all about the thousands and thousands of “happy” buyers of Zerocare.

We are likely to hear from young (zombies) that “claim” to be happy to pay more under Zerocare, for the “Greater good”.

Interesting that the only media outlet that did NOT run with this story was the National Enquirer.

But to show how stupid the media is, running a story with ONE person signing up is not a real good advertisement for obamacare. Not like the gorgeous woman I saw in Kroger the other day buying 2% milk. I said to her “You’re a great advertisedment for that milk.”

This is going to be thoroughly entertaining to watch.

Economics 101; A lesson for democrats/progressives.

The realization by 0bama zombies and their sycophants that economics is NOT about math, but a reflection of human nature and self interest.

This Zerocare “experiment” will leave them scratching their heads as their supporters “choose” to pay the penalty/tax since it is substantially less expensive than paying for someone else.

As the young idealists that are fundamentally selfish tout this “train-wreck” they themselves will act in their own interest.

I expect that very soon we will see ads from “everyday” people that are excited to pay for something they don’t want or need.

The next phase of propagandacare will be an attempt to guilt the young into signing up.

Cue Sally Struthers, and the sad sad stories.

“For the price of just one Starbucks coffee a day, you can provide care for this sad desperate crack addicted high school dropout single mother from a broken home of another sad desperate crack addicted high school dropout single mother from a broken home”
