and not one has paid yet...

Apparently the media is growing tired of the White House selectively releasing ObamaCare data that gets to the heart of nothing but makes the program look like it is much more popular than it likely is. For instance, today the White House informed the media that between Sunday and Friday, Healthcare.gov enjoyed 3.7 million visits. We have also been told that the site's error rate was .077 percent, the response time averaged under a second, and a whopping (and improbable) 93% of consumers did come back later after they were asked to due to the site being too busy.
As The Hill points out, though, that data is all hollow happy talk that tells us nothing about what really matters. What the White House refuses to disclose, or claims it doesn't yet have the data to disclose, just happens to be the information that will tell us if ObamaCare is or is not working:
- The Obama administration is selectively releasing data and metrics on ObamaCare to bolster its case that the rollout is going better in the month of December.
- Tidbits of information from federal health officials — especially figures that show improvements at HealthCare.gov — have become a key tool in the effort to “reboot” the law in the eyes of the public.
- But the limited nature of the releases has created conflict with the media and put the spotlight on outstanding areas of concern for the rollout, such as the enrollment site's back end.
The White House's definition for an "enrollee" is to blithely change the definition of the world "enrollee" to someone who has not yet enrolled, but has only selected an insurance plan and placed it into a shopping cart. Studies show that the abandonment rate for shopping carts is 67%.

and not one has paid yet...
transparent as mud
How long does zero think he can keep a lid on it? Private insurance companies know the numbers.
Transparency is important on principle of course although as a practical matter there isn’t much that can be done at this point whether the site is enrolling 100,000 or 1 million a month.
The Marxist Administration LIES!!! That’s all one has to know!
I don’t believe the headline. The Media never tires of Obama’s lies.
tidbits? some folks could sure use something to chew on besides the Tea Party and conservatives.
reckun once folks get used to baloney for every meal, won’t mind a chicken in every pot now and then.
I hear the price of milk may skyrocket... unless Coingre$$ passes more reliefs aka subsidies..
tough call.. makes me wish I had stayed down on the farm.
growing soybeans and sunflowers and fishing for dinner.
now, many folks will be lucky if their local food banks can meet the need for food to boot.. and it looks to be a cold winter all over the place.
HaPPy Holidays!!
The more they keep this airplane of lies afloat the harder they will inevitably crash into the ground of reality.
You can enroll but if you don't pay...No ticket...no laundry as the saying goes...
Should be a very interesting number...
Do these socialist/communist morons really think ANYONE believes them anymore?
This admin has lost ALL credibility on every single issue.
Comic books have more credibility.
They’re literally the laughing stock of the nation.
At this point, odongo is nothing but an old poo-stain on the undershorts of Uncle Sam. You know the type: one of those stains that just won’t wash out. He IS the crack in the Liberty Bell.
I don’t believe the headline. The Media never tires of Obama’s lies.
++++++++
My thoughts exactly. There is actually very little in the article itself supporting the headline.
LOL
I thought of the same saying regarding this a few days ago.
No payment made no insurance bought.
I think the actual number of people paying for insurance come Jan 1st on the federal exchanges are going to be extremely low...maybe as low as 250,000 total...
No person with half a brain, even libtards cannot justify paying for it...
Obamacare is going to wind up being an very expensive extension of Medicaid...that cost 3/4 of a billion to set up and nobody paying for it...
I agree mostly but taxes will be raised on the rich, (people with a job) of course, to support it.
If it is true that the payment part of the website hasn’t even been built yet it’s hard to see how anyone could be insured by Jan. 1st. I suppose some of the state exchanges might have it together better than the 0bama/Sebelius Color With Crayons website.
