Why are 2.7 million ObamaCare 'enrollees' still unaccounted for?
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 04/23/2014 | IBD Staff

Affordable Care Act: President Obama has for a while been bragging that 8 million people have signed up for ObamaCare. But the administration still hasn't released the state-by-state numbers to back up that number.

You'd think that with such good news, the administration would want to put out as many details as possible, as soon as possible. But judging by previous months, the latest Health and Human Services enrollment report is now nearly two weeks behind schedule.

As a result, we still don't know where 2.7 million ObamaCare enrollees came from.

Here's what we do know

Not surprising. This administration has elevated making up numbers to an art form.

Yesterday bert’s question was answered. The concern should not be paying the first premium, the concern should be and is about paying the second or third premium.

After purchasing a pig in a poke and actually seeing that the poke is mostly empty, the second or third premium is not paid.

Fortunately, Uncle Sam allows a grace period of 90 days if the premium is unpaid. Not so, for the insurers however. If they don’t get the $$ they suspend the coverage.

That was announced yesterday as happening now.

Given those that didn’t pay the first premium and those that stopped paying, there is no certain knowledge of the number currently in the program. By the time the count is made, it is still too high because of those not paying in the meantime.

With most people, Obama totally lost his credibility when they learned that “you can keep your health insurance policy and you can keep your doctor” were blatant lies.

Anything he or his flunkies say concerning Obamascam from here on in is not to be trusted.

Obama pulled the 8 million figure out of his ass like he does most of his facts. That’s the only place he can get the numbers he wants.

So someone can make the first month's payment and then get care for three months? I'd think the feds would be able to attach salaries of those who kept collecting when they weren't paying.

This is just overly cautious me speaking for myself. It does seem that the days of depending on or trusting medical care are OVER.

How does Obama tout the numbers with out all the entities reporting? If this was a Press Release from a CEO on a NYSE company, he'd be pulverized & the shorts would be bailing IN for some easy money.

8 - 2.7 = 5.3

Figures don’t lie, but liars figure.
