Can the ObamaCare Enrollment Numbers Be Believed?

Posted by timothy on from the 7.1m-impossible-things-before-breakfast dept.

An anonymous reader writes "When the Obama administration announced on April 1 that an estimated 7.1 million had signed up for ObamaCare by the end of March, it seemed a nearly impossible achievement. To reach 7.1 million, sign-ups had to rocket up by 67% in just one month. That's astounding enough, but an IBD review of existing ObamaCare enrollment data shows that the mathematical challenge of reaching 7.1 million sign-ups was even tougher."

  1. ACA was supposed to insure 42 million by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll

    There were, as Obama claimed, 42 million uninsured Americans before the ACA was passed. The ACA was supposed to insure all Americans.

    Here we are 4 years after it passed.

    What happened?

    There was a legal challenge to the Fugitive Slave Act that was also defeated by the Supreme Court. What's your point?

  3. GOP states refuse to expand Medicaid... people die by romanval · · Score: 0, Troll

    Unfortunately, it doesn't help the people in GOP states that refuse to expand Medicaid to cover those who cannot afford Obamacare... they're just left to die.
