The White House says people have bought Obamacare. We haven’t met them quite yet.
Washington Post ^ | October 3, 2013 | Sarah Kliff

If you have purchased health coverage on the federal government's new Obamacare marketplace, about a dozen or so reporters would like to speak with you. We promise we won't take up too much of your time!

We just need to find you first.

The federal government has said that somewhere out in this vast country of 313 million people, where 48 million lack insurance coverage, someone has managed to sign up for health insurance on the federally-run marketplaces. As of yet, we haven't tracked this person - or these people - down.

This is not for lack of effort. Reporters here at The Washington Post and at other publications have been on the hunt for this mythical creature.

This is actually too funny for words!

The Obama voters thought this was going to be free!

They have no intention of paying for it!

The Ministry of Truth is busy assembling a satisfied “composite” obamacare shopper at this very moment. Let’s call him Bob.

According to WeaselZippers they did find some guy that managed to sign up.

Of course he later then turned out to be a democommie plant...

They also claimed Mr. Obama had “girlfriends” in school, but we have yet to see one.

“This is actually too funny for words! The Obama voters thought this was going to be free! They have no intention of paying for it!”

I was afraid this would stay under the radar for the upcoming elections; hopefully it won’t. We have a special Senate election here in NJ in 2 weeks, and the media is already busily covering up any cost issues related to the ObamaCare kick-off.

You are right that people thought this was free; media comparisons to European and Canadian systems led them astray. I work with plenty of Holder’s people who thought this was another freebie paid for by whitey.

The Ministry of Truth is also busy...not reporting this. There is a dearth of articles now on Obamacare from the MSM outlets.

OK, maybe not, but they are getting lots of hits. I say we all sign up, using Democrats names in congress.

This reminds me of that goofy guy that used to be on late-night TV commercials, pawning the book about getting government grants for "starting a business, going back to school, or starting a worm farm..."

I detest the fact that while you probably have to jump through a few hoops, there are that many government grants available to people. No accountability, no need to prove anything, no positive payback to our country.

Once again, we’re seeing Democrats’ views on government largesse.

If it means they PERSONALLY have to pay more so that someone else older or more infirm can pay less, forget it.

As long as it’s “someone else’s money” and they get a free ride or a bargain, they are all for it.

Because it is another lie. They are paying people to claim they signed up!
