But how many have paid their premiums? That is the question.

4.2 million Americans have signed up for private health plans.

What’s private about it?

I heard they are counting everyone that visited the site and put in their name, or someone else... Like Mickey mouse.

If the people who have lost coverage are counted, it means that over 2 million less have coverage now than when this crap started.

enrollment sign-up trends are indeed flat-lining

Even those that don't pay aren't buying.

I've been thinking about what the IRS could do to you if you don't pay your Obamacare penalty. Maybe they could make you subject to back-up withholding on interest, dividends, IRA benefits, etc., to harass you.

Aye, that is the question. Another pertinent question: What percentage of those people were previously un-insured?

Not much of an accomplishment considering Obamacare cancelled 6.5 million individual policies. Screw all of these enemies of the people.

75 million people today went to Amazon.com. I think only 10 million bought something. What number matters?

Thanks for referencing that article Kaslin. But I don’t trust any federal government numbers.

Nope, there's a much bigger question than that: what % of the enrollments are people in the 18-34 age bracket?

The numbers I saw earlier were 27% (but looking at the details very closer to 26%). IIRC they need to be at least 35% to have a chance to keep the system sustainable. And IMHO that's a very optimistic number to begin with.

Given 4.2 million "enrollees", what # of the remaining 1.8 million (to get to the projected 6 million total) need to be in the 18-34 bracket to increase it's portion from 26% to 35%?

How about a FReeper poll...How many FReepers have signed up?
I do not count, as Obumbocare does not apply to me.

Q for Ms. Sebelius.

If someone were to apply/enroll, then (for whatever reason) want more time to think about it, could that person dis-apply/enroll?

How many are paying customers, and how many are young and healthy without pre-existing conditions?

“BREAKING” means it’s slowing down, right?

So, around 1% of the country.

How many are now without insurance? The regime doesn’t give a crap. It only hopes to show at least a marginal increase in coverage regardless of the responsible individuals no longer insured.

The entire process has been a lie, and the Democrats shoved it down the throats of the American people knowing it was and still is a lie.

A private sector business could not survive long with this Obama administration's proven record of egregious lying to its patrons.
