I haven’t actually seen Krauthammer in a while — I must say he looks rather ill and struggling. I hope he’s doing OK.
The 7.1 million is a real number. It’s just a meaningless real number unless you know how many of them are re-insuring after ObamaCare caused them to lose a cheaper but better plan that they liked, how many intended to buy ObamaCare but have not paid, how many put a policy in the cart to see the price but never intended to buy, how many are fictional and were shopping purely to see how bad ObamaCare is, how many are non-citizens signing up at one of the Mexican embassies that are helping to process applications (really!), how many have expensive medical conditions, and how many other Americans lost insurance and are unwilling or unable to sign up.
The most plausible number I have is less than one million genuine “successes” in which a previously uninsured US citizen signed up for ObamaCare and paid the premium, compared with more than five million (possibly far more) failures in which Americans lost their coverage due to this terrible law and did not re-insure.
THat is suck a joke!! IT IS A LIE!!
Driving home this evening, I heard someone on the radio ask “Would you buy a used car from this guy (obumbler)?
What else do you need to know?
If you believe 7.1 million, I have 3 bridgesto sell you. One in Brooklyn, one in Tampa Bay and one in Connecticut. You can have all 3 for the price of 7 million dollars. I accept gold or dollars only.
Obama’s a natural born liar. He does it with ease, probably better than any liar in all of politics.... And there’s a very strong field of competition.
wait till these people who enrolled deal with long waits in the ER,have to wait 2/3 months for an urgent appt.,,will be asked to pay up front before they see the doctor,etc.etc.
Levin ran this number down on his show tonight, in the first hour. The total of cancellations reported state-by-state prior to today runs about 6.2 million. The number of non-paying signups within that 7.1 million is easily 10%, 700K, and nobody disputes that. We could make various assumptions as to how many will fall off 0care when they go for some kind of treatment, assuming of course they can find a doctor who will take 0care as payment and then realize they have $6375. to go in med bills before 0care covers their $125 appointment before their deductible gets hit and puke up their coverage. It’s entirely possible that the net effect of the signup period in which people had to be begged and cajoled to sign up by celebrities and Rachel Ray & LeBron James (if it was such a great deal, one wonders why they had to be begged?) is utterly zero. Or even negative.
He lied about keeping your plan; he lied about keeping your doctor; he lied about paying lower premiums; he lied about better plans; he lied when he said it wasn’t a tax.
Why on God’s green earth would anyone believe the 7.1 million number???
It’s also “unexpected.” It appears that the commie ‘RATS may have resorted to their fraudulent voter registration list to run up their numbers. Or they are probably just lying. JMO.
Lil Barry wrote the book on phoney.
this is the least of his lies
Four days ago the number was 5 million. It is now 7.1 million. That means 2.1 million people signed up in 96 hours. That’s about 21,000 people an hour from a system that can only handle about 50,000 concurrent users. That means the average person in the last four days would have had to be in, sign up, and log out in about 40 minutes. It’s doable, but highly, highly unlikely.
What I suspect happened was that Obama transferred names from his contact database into the ObamaCare database to pump the numbers up.
Orwell’s socialists in the book 1984 used doublethink to deceive their society, but in important matters, like navigating war ships, 2 + 2 equaled four.
As that great Brit put it, free stuff sounds great but eventually you run out of other people’s money. The only way this program will work is if they start compelling productive citizens to pay, like SS.
Like GM and ‘TARP’. Obamacare is a socialist pipedream and American nightmare, if you object, that is, to turning over most of your paycheck to the government.
Recall that ‘Dreams of my Father’s father wrote an article on taxing people at 100%.
Amazing - five months ago Obama and his henchmen set a goal of 7 million sign-ups by March 31, and on that precise date they came within 1% of the number set way back then - tonight they’re snickering behind the backs of all those poor gullibles who’ve reported and celebrated these phony numbers with such wonder and satisfaction - lying has become so routine and boring for them that they now must spice things up by making the lies as obvious and outrageous as possible so they can taunt with total contempt all those who will grasp at and believe anything they feed them.....
I got 7 people to give me all of their money they had in their wallets today.
All I had to do was point a gun at them and tell them, “Give me all your money!”
