Local media even worse.

I have been predicting (an easy call, really) for the past two weeks that The Magic Negro would somehow conjure >7 million sign-ups by the end of the phony enrollment period. And...sho ‘nuf!!

Perhaps the plan would be even better with one Billion sign ups...’cause signups are the goal, right? Maybe they can get their OFA drones to sign up 50 times each (and not pay).. That’d help, right?

Back in the days of Bush the Cruel, weren’t there supposed to be between 30-47 MILLION UNINSURED, and what a national disgrace that was!? /sarcasm

The media are just doing what they're told to do.

Still, I ain't cuttin' them any slack!

[P.O.E.]

I thought there were 31 million uninsured back when Obama was shilling his plan.

Now, all of a sudden, 7 million is considered great?

And what percent of the 7 million is legit?

It’s like deciding half-way through a semester that getting a D+ will be OK then pretending you’re Einstein reincarnate when you do.

Describes this entire fluster cluck.

[Art.] It’s like deciding half-way through a semester that getting a D+ will be OK then pretending you’re Einstein reincarnate when you do.

Funny, I just happened to look up the meaning of "pigeon chess" the other day, in another context.

It describes this Mariel cockfight of self-congratulation to a tee.

The “Deadline” is smoke and mirrors at best.

There is no “Deadline” if:

(1) You apply for Medicaid (In Washington state, new Medicaid applications outnumber “Paid Policies” by 3 to 1).

(2) You get married.

(3) You lose your job.

(4) You are Native American.

There are a couple more exemptions I can’t recall at the moment.
