Now that Obamacare is a massive success because of 6 million sign ups

Will Democrats now run ON Obamacare for the upcoming elections? If its the massive success the administration is saying it is, it should be a winner
All these left friendly sites like reddit and such, the posters there are all saying how Republicans heads are going to explode and how conservatives are about to lose their shite because of this. If this is truly the case democrats should have no problems running on Obamacare now.

I love when facts get skewed for political gain.

Just like the unemployment numbers before the November 2012 elections, these numbers are and no doubt will continue to be cooked

Where are you seeing that number? It was 5 million 1 week into March and they were trending at 900k a month. No fricking way they did 1 million in 3 weeks.
Again, go dig up my thread breaking down the numbers accord to signups/payments.
A whopping 580k who didn't have insurance previously have signed up and paid their first premium.

Are you saying that it's a lie?

The numbers that will ultimately matter will be the high premiums, high deductibles limited access that the young will pay in order to pay for old folk, illegals, slackers and the Party elite.
Just a matter of time before the curtain goes up and the *wizard* gets exposed. This will be a fail of historical proportions. The sooner it happens...the sooner they (whomever they is) can get started scrapping something back together. Cash for services most likely; a lot cheaper service at that.

In fairness, many have predicted they wouldn't get anywhere near that. They deserve to crow a bit.

Except they aren't really "near" any thing of substance.

Which they didn't.
This from the same people that gave us,"If you like your insurance you can keep it."

When you get to define success, you never lose!

So if Obamacare cancels 5 Million policies, and insures 6 Million, is it still a massive success?

They promoted Obamacare as a way to insure 30, or 40, or 50 or 60 million uninsured Americans. Whatever the BS number of supposedly pitifully uninsured Americans they chose to claim existed.
Of the 4million, or 5 million, or 6 million (whatever the BS number) of supposedly "signed-up" Americans they now claim, up to 90% had insurance until Obamacare took it away.
Is that clear?
Do you understand?
Let's explain it just in case.
It means just north of 1% of those originally UNINSURED millions have signed up for Obamacare!
Got it?
You have the unmitigated gall to intimate ANYONE should CROW about that?
You cannot be serious!

Just like the stimulus
We heard how if we pass the stimulus unemployment will go below 7% in a couple years
Still hasn't gone below 7% and its been over 5 years now. But we keep hearing about the success of the Obama economy and his policies
If you always move the goalposts you can never lose

From the article, emphasis added:
quote:
But just how many people fully enroll in the program this year remains to be seen. The latest figures reflect those picking plans, not paying their premiums. Only those who pay their first month's premium are considered enrolled, while those who don't pay have their policy selections canceled.
Also from the article
quote:
Also, the total number of enrollees nationwide is not that important a number, experts have said. What's more critical is whether enrollment meets each insurer's expectations since that's what will determine premiums for next year. Insurers are looking at both how many people pick their policies and how many claims they file.
Many experts are watching the share of young adults picking plans since they are considered healthier and less costly than older enrollees. Some 25% of those signing up are between ages 18 to 34, as of the end of February, the latest figures available. The White House and independent experts had forecast about 40% would be young adults.
