Unless you’ve been bamboozled by the frantic fictions of the right wing, you know that the Affordable Care Act, familiarly known as Obamacare, has begun to accomplish its first goal: enrolling millions of uninsured Americans, many of whom have been living one medical emergency away from the poorhouse. You realize those computer failures that have hampered sign-ups in the early days — to the smug delight of the critics — confirm that there is enormous popular demand. You have probably figured out that the real mission of the Republican extortionists and their big-money backers was to scuttle the law before most Americans recognized it as a godsend and rendered it politically untouchable.
What you may not know is that the Affordable Care Act is also beginning, with little fanfare, to accomplish its second great goal: to promote reforms to our overpriced, underperforming health care system. Irony of ironies, the people who ought to be most vigorously applauding this success story are Republicans, because it is being done not by government decree but almost entirely with market incentives.

Or they have been threatened with fines if they don't sign up. But communists have always had trouble finding the line between coercion and freedom.
So somehow, Bill Keller was able to come up with the number of enrolled Americans, while "Kitty Kat" Sebillius is unable to do so...
I guess the NYT is keeping up with their long history of making up "facts" and publishing outright lies.

Only “hundreds” have been able to sign up for a health care plan at the Obamacare websites. The Wall Street Journal reported:
Okay now we will try the landline # 1-800-318-2596 listed above or 1-800-318-2596 = 1-800-FAU-CKYO.
“All the news that’s fit to make-up/censor/modify-beyond-all recognition to support Obamugabe and the democrats”
Well yeah...our overlords need to be taken care of better than us since they have such a hard life and deserve better treatment.
Why? He is doing his instructed job perfectly.
Oh, look: the dying media known as the NY Slimes is covering for Obamugabe.
Note to Bill Keller:
They will eventually come for you. And there will likely be no one left to turn to except your messiah, Barack Hussein Obama. He is running the show—good luck with that.
Oh, shopping list for today-get a Quran and prayer rug, you will need it by the time the usurper is through.
Obama Akhbar!
Ten bucks says that Keller and his *entire* circle of acquaintances are exempt.
Only in a system where ideological purity is the overriding criterion.
I picked up a penny off the street. I’ve begun to accomplish my goal of being a millionaire.
