Just 67 percent of Obamacare enrollees in federally-run marketplaces had paid their premiums by April 15, bringing the federally-run Obamacare enrollment tally to only 2.45 million, according to documents provided to the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
The Obama administration has been heavily promoting that 8 million Americans selected plans on Obamacare marketplaces, but has refused to release any data on how many purchased their plans.
The 67 percent payment rate as of April 15 is markedly lower than the 80-85 percent that experts have predicted will end up paying their premiums. April 30 is the final day for most federal exchange customers to make their payments.
Of those who have paid their premiums, just 25 percent fall within the highly desired young invincible range from age 18 to 34 — drastically lower than the administration’s minimum goal of 39 percent needed to avoid premium hikes next year.
“In a sad reversal away from its vows of transparency, the Obama administration, from inside the Oval Office on down, has gone to extraordinary lengths to keep basic details of the health care law from the public,” said Michigan Republican Rep. Fred Upton, chairman of the committee. “Tired of receiving incomplete pictures of enrollment in the health care law, we went right to the source and found that the administration’s recent declarations of success may be unfounded.”
The Obama administration has been touting exchanges’ 8 million sign-ups far and wide, but have come under fire for refusing to release any data on the number of Americans that have actually paid for their health care plans.

I've been wondering about that. I just thought it was some of that new "Common Core" math the commie libs came up with.
It is roughly 30%..... PLEASE yell it from the house tops
Is the story mixing up the numbers from the total, including the state marketplaces, with the federally signed up numbers?
Poorly written journalism, as usual.
It is written unclearly.
Is it 67% of the (8 million minus Medicaid)?
As I recall, Medicaid signups were about 4.5 Million via the Federal Exchanges.
Bump
2.4 million is through the federal exchanges, per the article. Seven million includes those registered through state exchanges, too (although ‘enrolled’ does not mean they paid the initial premium).
I quoted the article which stated very clearly that the idiot writer thought that 2.45 million represented 67% of the 8 million sign ups for ACA.
I don’t care how anyone tries to make sense of it.....that’s NOT the way arithmetic works
thx...
I had assumed you were reporting another’s writing.
However...it is not clear, and it is not clear in the way that the Obama administration has been trying to make it unclear:
“Just 67 percent of Obamacare enrollees ...”
“The Obama administration has been heavily promoting that 8 million Americans selected plans”
“on Obamacare marketplaces, but has refused to release any data on how many purchased their plans.”
“Enrollees” signed up or applied. “Selected”, just made an initial choice. ...and then there is “purchased”. That’s three different categories, all jumbled together.
I bet most of them are people that were on Medicaid and Medicare that were forced to go to Obamacare.
Anyway 6 months ago the admin admitted they only had 250k (less than 1/2 of 1% of the entire U.S. population), and that was considered an exaggerated number. However, they now say it's over 7 million. Yeah right....
I agree particularly with you last sentence. That is part of the overall problem with the lies these lying liars in the O admin have
This is no different on how they fake election results. Everthing they do is a FRAUD. Including the comrade in chief.
