Progress: Obama Announces 8 Million Obamacare Enrollees (Uh huh, Yeah right)
Townhall.com ^ | April 17, 2014 | Katie Pavlich

Speaking from the White House late Thursday afternoon, President Obama announced there are now 8 million people enrolled in Obamacare, a small jump up from 7.1 million at the beginning of April and after former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has left office.

"Eight million people," Obama said. "Thirty-five percent of people who enroll through the federal market place are under the age of 35. All told, independent experts now estimate that millions of Americans who were uninsured have gained coverage this year."

The White House has still not produced numbers detailed how many people have paid for their insurance plans and has not defined what exactly "enrolled" means.

I'm sure people have read this before but it's worth a read again:

Subject: The enormity of World War II

During the 3-1/2 years of World War 2 that started with the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and ended with the Surrender of Germany and Japan in 1945, the U.S. produced 22 aircraft carriers, 8 battleships, 48 cruisers, 349 destroyers, 420 destroyer escorts, 203 submarines, 34 million tons of merchant ships, 100,000 fighter aircraft, 98,000 bombers, 24,000 transport aircraft, 58,000 training aircraft, 93,000 tanks, 257,000 artillery pieces, 105,000 mortars, 3,000,000 machine guns, and 2,500,000 military trucks.

We put 16.1 million men in uniform in the various armed services, invaded Africa, invaded Sicily and Italy, won the battle for the Atlantic, planned and executed D-Day, marched across the Pacific and Europe, developed the atomic bomb and ultimately conquered Japan and Germany.

It's worth noting, that during the almost exact amount of time, the Obama administration couldn't build a functioning web site.

It’s amazing how cooperative people will be when the President Of The United States threatens to label them as law breakers, fine them, and have the criminals in the IRS take their money if they don’t do as he says.

Yeah, 98% of which lost their healthcare because of Obamacare. That’s quite a notch on his belt. /s

Obamacare is as voluntary as our “voluntary” tax system.

Well, who’s surprised? The party that can enroll millions of dead voters can surely find dead volunteers for health care.

Here's one for posterity:

8 million? Why not 58 millions. Why not 108 million? If you are going to lie, lie big. If you lie small, they scorn you. If you lie big, they make you dictator.
Priceless.

In other news today, I learned that the maximum out of pocket expenses for my health insurance is going up 59% next year. This is on top of the 100% increase on the out of pocket maximum I was hit with this year. Hooray for that lying sack of 0bama!

8 million. This must be a product of Common Core. After a public education under Federal guidelines, the answer is whatever they want it to be - the new America.

Eight million? That is like saying:

"Obamacare is now covering the inhabitants of New York City."

Big whoop.

Thanks much. It was sent to me when I was doing some studies and I knew at some point it’d be worthwhile to post it.

By the time Obama leaves office (if he ever does), he’ll be claiming 8 billion enrolled. What a bunch of clowns.
