The entire Obamacare scheme is a fraud perpetuated against the American People.

Meghan Kelly had 6 Fox News employees stand on her set while she ridiculed these pitiful numbers. I doubt even FReepers could have come up with a better way of embarrassing Obama. 6!!!

No guarantee those 6 actually are even aware or got what they wanted.

Failure: Liberal policies forced upon the Americans.
