The Obama administration did its best to inflate the number of ObamaCare enrollees yesterday, but it’s clear even the administration’s most vigorous efforts have fallen painfully short.
The
initial announcement made at 3:30 p.m. EST
revealed that 106,185 people nationwide had “selected” an ObamaCare health
insurance plan. The word “selected” is critical here, because the administration
was forced to admit the figure includes people who have signed up for the plan,
but have yet to pay for their premiums. At the House Oversight Committee hearing
on ObamaCare yesterday, Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) forced White House Chief
Technology Officer Todd Park to reveal the folly of the administration’s
position. “Have you ever shopped on Amazon.com? Chaffetz asked. “Yes sir,” he replied.
“When you put something in your shopping cart, is that considered a sale?”
Chaffetz continued. “No,” replied Park.
