No, 2.1 million haven't enrolled in Obamacare plans

With President Obama's health care law scheduled to begin in earnest when the new year kicks off, Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius claimed on a Tuesday conference call that as of Dec. 28, "2.1 million people have enrolled in a private insurance plan" through the program.

Later in the call, Sebelius emphasized that enrollments wouldn't be completed until individuals paid their first month's premiums.

But HHS officials still won't disclose how many of the 2.1 million they claim enrolled through the federal healthcare.gov website or one of the state-based exchanges actually paid for coverage.

Though Sebelius left the call before the question-and-answer session, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services spokeswoman Julie Bataille declined several times to provide payment information.

Actually the 2.1 million is the number of people who clicked on an ad for free money from Nigeria and were hijacked by the ObamaCare website.

I heard on the local AM radio top of the hour news that some six million had signed up for Medicaid and/or ObamaCare.

I heard a report from NH that indicated (proudly) that hundreds of NH residents had clicked on the site, requesting more information.

That's the best they can do.

Will anybody in the MSM ever announce the NET change in number with health insurance?

In the sixties we use to feel sorry for the people in the Soviet Union who could only read Communist propaganda in Pravda. Now our American newspapers and network broadcasters are like the Commie Pravda. The fifth-column MSM are traitors; they only steal oxygen and exhale lies.

This is the only administration I’ve ever witnessed that brags about less being more and more being less.

Less people in the workforce in the past five years than ever in the past few decades, yet more people have jobs percentage wise.

More people enrolling in democratcare, yet less people actually having insurance with all the policy cancellations.

Up is down, and down is up. This is nothing but the communist SRM covering for the imposter in chief.

Either the Obama administration thinks the Freedom of Information Act doesn’t apply to them, or the administration doesn’t know any more than anyone else about what’s going on.

I guess that means they are unethical or incompetent. Could be both.

Regardless of what really happens, the Obammunists and their lickspittle media will say they've met every goal, Obamacare is working brilliantly, the economy is recovering, terrorism has been conquered, there is no illegal scumbag alien problem, ad nauseum. The low-information voter will believe it, too.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

What is stopping the HHS from lying about the numbers so they look good?
Who besides the liberals and the msm can trust this obamma administration?
Serious!

I'm one of the millions who had their perfectly-acceptable catastrophic health-care plans cancelled by Obamacare.

I will not put up with the federal government ordering me to buy something.

I may very well quit filing tax returns.

If they want come get me and put me in a federal prison, that does not seem like a bad option to me at present.

If you need insurance before you go to jail, you might look into low cost short term health insurance. It didn't get killed off by ACA, but you'll still be penalized by the IRS since it doesn't conform to ACA standards.

The longer the Regime takes to reveal the horrible truth about the pathetically LOW number of PAID ObamaCare enrollees, the lower you know it will be. My tag line has my prediction for the total.

“Kathleen Sebelius claimed on a Tuesday conference call that as of Dec. 28, “2.1 million people have enrolled in a private insurance plan” through the program.”

My sources tell me that the number is less than 35,000. We are seeing an eruption of complete, total, stinky, overwhelming propaganda spewed out from the one-eyed commie sucubus Sebelius.

Doesn’t really matter anymore how many sign up or not. Poop is already in the diaper.

The question is will America figure it out and negate as much of it as they can 3-5 years down the line while parts of it can still be negated. That hasn’t happened with welfare and food stamps so I doubt it can happen with this.

The fact is conservatives did a major fail when they put Obama in position to win the White House and put him in a position to jam this deal through. From this point on, anything you do with Obamacare will be presented and viewed as taking something away from someone that needs it. Frankly, the American people haven’t shown the stomach for it.
