Health Reform: It seems the administration had been exaggerating the number of people enrolled in ObamaCare to the tune of about 700,000. We're shocked! Shocked!
At a hearing Thursday, Marilyn Tavenner, head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, finally confessed that 7.3 million were enrolled in ObamaCare plans as of mid-August.
In other words, the administration had been inflating the "enrollment" number nearly 10% by counting anyone who had completed the application process, not those who paid their premiums.
Now, they say it's no big deal, because everyone expected some attrition. But even this new, lower number is likely to be inflated.

The new “number” includes criminal illegals
and foreign felons.
NOthing new for the First Moslem Imposter by Pelosi’s fraud
and the US Congress’ abdication.
Just the word ‘attrition’ trys to adds credence to this shell game by offering the thoughts of high attainment as (false) premise to those already in step with socialism.

I suspect that a high percentage, possibly even a majority, of the people signed up for obamacare were formerly insured through other means. There were a lot of people forced into obamacare when employers dropped plans, or insurance companies discontinued non-compliant plans.
So that's my question. How many people, really, were brought into coverage? We're sacrificing rights and freedoms. Setting a terrible precedent. We've expanded government control and bureaucracy. Introduced waste and inefficiencies. Forced some healthcare professionals out of the business. For what? What have we gained? Nothing even remotely worth it IMHO.
