Why does Gallup have to poll this to get the numbers.

Can the insurance companies just release the hard numbers? Why is that so difficult?

Are you suggesting the most transparent administration ever would try to obscure the numbers?

What are you saying?

Because enrollees are not what is important to the insurers, it is enrollees who pay their premiums that matter. Once the first premiums are paid, they will provide that data.

Plus, it would look bad for the Obama administration if the insurers say that X-number of people signed up, but a far lower number actually paid to be fully insured.
