UPDATED: Obamacare Poster Boy Chad Henderson and His Dad Didn't Really Buy Insurance
Reason ^ | 10/4/13 | Peter Suderman

Posted on 10/05/2013 8:00:00 AM PDT by St_Thomas_Aquinas

Chad Henderson is the media’s poster boy for Obamacare. Reporters struggled this week to find individuals who said they had been able to enroll in one of the law’s 36 federally run health-insurance exchanges.

That changed yesterday, when they found Henderson, a 21-year-old student and part-time child-care worker who lives in Georgia and says that he successfully enrolled himself and his father Bill in insurance plans via the online exchange administered at healthcare.gov.

But in an exclusive phone interview this morning with Reason, Chad's father Bill contradicted virtually every major detail of the story the media can't get enough of. What's more, some of the details that Chad has released are also at odds with published rate schedules and how Obamacare officials say the enrollment system works.

...Bill Henderson told me that both he and his son were interested in getting coverage, but that he had not enrolled in any plan yet, and to his knowledge, neither had his son.

This is freaking hilarious.

Do we have a single enrollee confirmation yet?

You can't make this sh-- up. Hold the line, Republicans! We can stop this monstrosity.

Absolutely surreal. Everything about this skid mark’s administration is a lie.

Not to worry. If the media can’t find an actual enrollee, they will simply make one up.

See how easy that is.

One of our stories here in No. Illinois is a single man 40yrs old mid level plan $500 per month $13,000 deductible. He said NO but minutes later an email arrives basically saying we know where you live and we can garnish your wages and lien your house if you DO NOT pay the fine.

Strange. Here’s the number from the Kaiser Obamacare calculator:

I don't have a Facebook page, but anyone who does should post the URL for the petition at the Healthcare.gov Facebook page.

Yuk, yuk, yuk.

This guy is supposedly non partisian so I took him at his word. I also know an Obama voting woman who basically said the new plan is too expensive so I guess I should wait till we have way more evidence before we all pile in it will fail bus.

“Absolutely surreal. Everything about this skid mark’s administration is a lie.”

Worse, they don’t even make any serious effort to cover it up!

Someone else on this thread sent me a link to a Kaiser Family med cost calculator and it tells me $2000 for Silver. Since its not an actual quote from a company I wonder if it is correct?

Paul.|10.4.13 @ 12:59PM|#

It was promoted to the media by Enroll America, a health-care activist group headed by a former White House communications staffer, as a sign of Obamacare’s success

So, wait, the media reported as fact something that Enroll America faxed them in the dead of night?”

Paul had THE post of the article!!!

Just a correction on your phone number listed, the number 1 does not translate to A on a dial pad; there are no letters associated with the number 1.

My brother, huge Dem op, did the same thing. He posted on FB that he signed up and his insurance was only $60 a month.

He hasn’t held a job since 1994.

the Kaiser does not not show the deductible etc. If you want to see them you can go to coveredca and see them without signing up. They just want a California zip code.

"The System is down at the moment."

It has become obvious now. Absent any consequences, the extent to which the current administration will engage in lies and subterfuge is simply without limit. How long before the Boy Wonder drops all pretenses, declares everything "down at the moment," dissolves congress, and "suspends" the constitution? Given the perfumed Prince's petulant nature, I'd say it's a matter of days.

The Kaiser Family Foundation link I was sent to on this thread might be little more than political charade as well. One guy at another site ran a side by side with the Colorado exchange with the Kaiser med cost calculator and the state exchange was way higher.
