CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: Look, at every level, every number that you get on this is either inflated or deceptive. As we just heard from Steve [Hayes], the number of enrollees are not enrollees. It's people who put stuff in their shopping cart. Amazon would never call it a sale until you get a sale. And they don't know how many have made the sale. And that's because what they call euphemistically, the back-end, which is the cash register of the whole system, is not working.
The idea that you have to hand-match people who paid a premium with the insurers isn't 20th century technology, it is 19th century technology. An insurer has to find the person, call them up, go overall of the details on the form and then adjust them, which of course is impossible to do in any substantial number.
The administration speaks about having had 3 1/3 million signed up by the end of December. They are 3 million short as of now. There is no way it is conceivable that they could sign up that number and even if they did it is not conceivable that the insurers could hand-match the information. I think all of this is to assuage Democrats to give them something to hang their hats on and pretend everything is okay on the recess, but the beginning of January is going to be a train wreck for them.

Sir, regarding your post #13, the best way to learn how to spell correctly is to read published authors and note how they spell words. Also, although I heartily despise the big newspapers and television networks, you will find that, by and large, their writers spell words correctly.
Naturally, the Partisan Media Shills at Consumer Reports are wholeheartedly in favor of Obamacare. Thanks i88schwartz.
It is really interesting to hear all the Dems screaming how the Conservatives should help in the Obamacare fix,,,unbelievable
Add in two - three weeks waiting for the return, and lots of low info voters that don't pay any taxes will not get their refunds until late Feb.
Just like Romney is going to win by a landslide, right Dr
Chuck?
“Cant Obama say that GWB passed Obamacare and he was against it?”
I hate to give these people any ideas, but...
I predict that by the end of January 2014 all Democrats will be exclusively referring to the law as “Bush-care”.
Believe as I tell you, not as it is..........
Weird
Hopping.
The heart of it is "offer and acceptance". The prospective insured gives their information for the underwriters to make a determination of their risk. If acceptable, the insurance company makes an OFFER of a particular coverage. If, within a period of time, the prospective insured responds with ACCEPTANCE of that offer in the form of a premium payment the contract is fulfilled and the coverage is in force.
Not only weird but quite foreign too. :=)
Yes, Mrs Cochran doesn’t have an “i” or an “e” in it.
