Everyone knew they would count the little box that they added for people to claim they will be signing up, but need more time...


Mission Accomplished!!!

The British are claiming that our President is a liar because they are still butt hurt about 1776.

I find it ironic that he claims that 3 million Americans under the age of 26 are now maintained on their parents' insurance coverage. Where did they get that number?

I think it is hilarious how much this admin tries to twist numbers, especially after all their "accountability" and "transparency" talk.

You aren't insured unless you pay your premium, so I don't see how nearly half the people they claim are "insured" can be counted. Signing up shouldn't count in any way, because anyone can sign up just to inflate the numbers.

In the end, I am a supporter of extreme changes to the health care system, but I desire ones that actually fix problems instead of making more, which Obama's clearly has.

Throughout this whole debacle, the White House couldn't tell us how many people had signed up or how many had paid. Now, all of a sudden, they have 7.1 million and we are supposed to believe that? Holy mother of god.

How many of that "7.1 million" were people kicked off previously coverage they wanted to keep?

858,000 seems more realistic. And I'll bet that's even high. I'm not seeing anyone except the free or GREATLY reduced prico O'care signing up. And it's people with a shite ton of problems and they are using that shite like they got hold of Warren Buffet's debit card. I can't think of a single fairly young, somewhat healthy pt I've seen on Obamacare and We see about a 100/day.

I know a healthy, soon-to-be 26 yr old guy with an engineering degree from A&M that signed up for Obamacare this week. Cited "getting kicked off his parent's plan" as the reason.

Remember when they used to say that they "saved" a million jobs? All smoke and mirrors.

I think it was "created or saved" such and such amount of jobs. Yet his supporters soak it up like sponges.

Exactly. It can drive you mad if a person spends any extended amount of time pondering the administration.

Well goooooood for him. Hope he enjoys paying outrageous rates with a $6500 deductible to boot. Unless he gets a subsidy. May help with the premiums.

And a 2 yo and wife. All with private insurance. You do what you have to.
