The burden of truth

How are ObamaCare enrollments coming along? The correct answer is: nobody knows.

By this I mean no one who knows the answer with better than 75 percent accuracy is willing to say so in public. This week the Administration updated its official count to 3.3 million enrollments. This number is absolutely false, and everyone knows it. Industry experts believe more than 20 percent of the enrollments counted by Obama’s Department of Health and Human Services are invalid enrollments, because the mandatory first payment was not completed. In some states, the ratio is closer to fifty percent invalid.

So we’re left to make educated guesses about a vitally important detail of public policy – arguably the most important single policy debate under way at the moment, since our crushing national debt burden has been packed away in a carton labeled “Do Not Open Until Christmas” by the Republican leadership. The actual number of ObamaCare enrollments is probably around 2.6 million, which is laughably short of the 7 million target set for March 31, just seven weeks from now. And the pace of enrollments is slowing, week by week.

Is there any part of this administration that ISN'T based on lies??

So what we know is at most 3.3 million people signed up, and we suspect it’s a lot less.

"Payment? What payment? It be FREE, yo!"
