Data provided to the committee by every insurance provider in the health care law’s Federally Facilitated Marketplace (FFM) shows that, as of April 15, 2014, only 67 percent of individuals and families that had selected a health plan in the federally facilitated marketplace had paid their first month’s premium and therefore completed the enrollment process. Nationwide, only 25 percent of paid enrollees are ages 18 to 34. The Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations today invited the leaders of some of the nation’s largest insurance providers and their trade groups to testify at a hearing, “PPACA Enrollment and the Insurance Industry,” on Wednesday, May 7, 2014, at 10:15 a.m. in room 2123 Rayburn House Office Building.

Assuming 8 million is the number of sign ups on the site, then there are 5.36 million paid enrollees with 1.34 million between the ages of 18 to 34. Those are some pretty abysmal numbers.

The media makes a pretense of relaying these numbers as though they were valid data, when every single reporter knows they are not.

And they do this why? As far as I'm concerned, a 'journalist' is nothing more than a subversive terrorist who has found out it is an easy living without much real work. How much work is it to take a talking points fax off the machine each morning and feed it to their teleprompter, word smith it into their commentaries, etc.?

Scumbags, who in a better world would be relegated to shoveling real sh!t in a sewage processing plant

No serious analyst believes the ObamaCare “signup” totals pushed by the White House are accurate.

Pretty sad when the media both expect and accept the White House is lying to them. Be a lot easier if they just said they were worthless purveyors of bull squeeze. The explanation doesn't make it otherwise.

I could sell dog poop by mail if the government was willing to fine people who wouldn't buy the dog poop... And if I had an IRS willing to go in and collect those fines....

I'm amazed the numbers are so low... seems the people really hate this horror...

[uncitizen]

So basically, the admins number are 100% bogus...I knew that already. Didn’t need another article to say so.

This is why Queen Kathleen is refusing to appear before Congress again.

She knows she can't lie anymore about having no clue how many haven't paid. Either the victorious claims about 7.5 million will have to come crashing down or she'll have to perjure herself.
