I’d like to see better proof, but this is the number I’ve been waiting for.

So, the Democrats have destroyed American healthcare for 1,400,000 people?

All the while not repealing the ‘just go to the ER for free care’ law?

[luvbach1]

All this mess and esxpense for that??!!!?

[goldstategop]

None of that matters. As far as Obama is concerned, Obamacare is a success and beyond debate.

After all, signups are Mission Accomplished.

[InterceptPoint]

There are three groups in this equation:

1. People who had insurance and lost it and signed up for Obamacare.
2. People who never had insurance and signed up for Obamacare.
3. People who had insurance and don't have it anymore because of Obamacare.

I suspect that Group3 will be as large as Group2. So what have we accomplished?

And they were in prison.

I’m not surprised.

Well the new bimbo in charge at HHS will be prepared to blame the old bimbo in charge at HHS for that failing .... but there are no real consequences for any of them.

This is the party that surveyed, knew, tabulated and spreadsheeted what everyone’s favorite TV shows were in the time before the 2012 election. They knew which magazines every voter subscribed to. They knew how often every person checked their Facebook account. They knew what kind of car they drove and how old those cars were and how many miles those people drove per year.

To be honest, I haven’t applied for 0care, but it is absolutely impossible for me to believe that any applicant wasn’t asked if they had existing health insurance and what they paid for it or whether their employer supplied it.

The very idea that the admin cannot answer the question of how many net new signups there are is ridiculous on its face. The idea that ten days before the Mar 31 deadline they did not know or would not say the number of applicants, yet suddenly, on the morning of Apr 01 they knew that 7.1 million had signed up is ridiculous beyond words.

[Cyber Liberty]

Furthermore, the Medicaid enrollees need to be discounted as well.

[SIRTRIS]

>>>After all, signups are Mission Accomplished. And the 7.1 million is from the same sources as 1) Shovel-ready jobs, 2) Keep your doctor, 3) Keep your health care plan 4) No lobbyists, 5) Transparency, 6) Constitutional oath.. & it goes on & on! Does Obama even know what the 7.1 million break out is?

[BenLurkin]

Millions of American intimidated by fear of the IRS into compliance with an onerous law.

[dalebert]

They are still being carful to use the word signed up instead of enrolled. Tells me they are counting head of site visitors not actual enrollees.

[apocalypto]

Is this only people who used the government website to sign up?

My agent got new insurance for me and my husband without the misery of the Obamacare site...so far so good.

[Brad from Tennessee]

Adding to the confusion, HHS used names and health records from cooperating states of millions of unknowing consumers to open accounts for them on the government website, sending each a letter asking them to complete the application. Obama may also be using these numbers.

[Mountain Bike Vomit Carnage]

All this for 0.4% of the country.
