| One of my neighbors has an "Impeach Obama" bumper sticker and a "Repeal Obamacare" window sticker. Today's the deadline for enrollments, thought I'd take the nation's pulse. - Washington Post wrote:
- Substantively, the administration is refusing to acknowledge a few essential points. One, the original definition of “success” — the CBO number they adopted as their own — was 7 million enrollees. And next, an estimated 20 percent of the alleged 6 million enrollees have not paid their premiums, which means they do not actually have insurance. That leaves us with 4.8 million enrollees at best, without discounting duplicate enrollments, unfinished applications and any other factors that would diminish the number who have actually signed up for Obamacare.
SourceAre these last two even possible? I thought I heard you weren't "enrolled" until you finished the enrollment process. And why would somebody enroll multiple times? And of course enrollees have 30 days to pay their premiums, so if 80% already have that's boffo. But it does appear the enrollments may be only 86% of the goal. |
