So they claimed 8 million signed up by April 15th, but now the total is 7.3 million by Aug 15th?

I've heard that the 'sign up' numbers are accurate...but...that a lot of people 'signed up' and got cards...then never made a payment! So...they have a card and show up to the hospital with a card...but there was no way to confirm if they made a payment. I suspect that there were about 700k people pulling that stunt...thus the drop in the numbers.

Where there's a will...there's a way form some jack asses to rip off the system.
