With the latest ObamaCare enrollment ‘deadline’ upon us the government is reporting an estimate that there are 6 million people enrolled, ‘just a million’ shy of the administration’s goal to have 7 million people enrolled by March 31st. But what do those numbers even mean? Somehow the government has no data to show how many have paid their premiums or how many of those enrolled previously had no insurance.
Republican Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyoming) said on Sunday that the lack of details about ObamaCare enrollment numbers suggests the Obama administration has “cooked the books.”
[Barrasso] made his comments just hours before the Monday deadline to enroll in the Affordable Care Act and was skeptical of the administration’s most recent enrollment figure of more than 6 million Americans.“I don’t think it means anything,” he told “Fox News Sunday.” “They are cooking the books on this.”
Though the enrollment number now appears just a million shy of the administration’s goal of 7 million by the March 31 deadline, Barrasso said Americans who have switched to ObamaCare from insurance deemed sub-standard under the Affordable Care Act still don’t know whether they can keep their same doctors. And they don’t know whether their premiums will indeed be more affordable.
Among the other questions are whether enough younger people have enrolled in ObamaCare to cover the health care costs of older Americans in the program and how many of those enrolled previously were uninsured.
UPDATE: According to The New York Times, at least 20% of those enrollments the government is counting never paid their premiums to activate coverage, leaving them uninsured. In fact, as Washington Post columnist Ed Rogers notes, “the official HHS numbers still include duplicate enrollments.” No one knows how many duplicate enrollments are in the stack; the White House refuses to say. However, given the disastrous Obamacare website failures, it is reasonable to imagine that the pile is riddled with numerous “false start” applications.
Actual enrollment numbers appear to be approximately 1.7% of those 48.6 million uninsured.

And there is only 27% of the population that believes otherwise, that’s a good thing right ? Now, let’s wake the rest up.
cooked? dont you mean lied again?
vote them all out in nov every last one of them
No surprise here. Pants on fire.
You better believe that we will…every single one who voted for Obummer care and caused us to loose the insurance we had and our’s was affordable too.
King Obama & Racists Gang has Destroyed America.
TOTALLY DESTROYED BY ILLEGAL obama AND his CRONIES!!!!
Lying SOB’s can’t believe a damn thing they say.
People we are going to have to open our eyes. Obama is going to do something soon for if the Democrats go into the November election he knows its going to be bad for the Democrats. Obama and the liberals have got us into debt over 17 trillion and he is cutting back on our military to the lowest since before Word War II . Now North and South Korea are shooting at each other, Puttin is making this little girly girl president look like a total idiot. The middle East hates us and will destroy us at the first chance they get. America is falling apart as we speak, and the Democrats and some Republicans set back and let Obama do anything he wants. When at the Democrat convention they booed God our fate may have already been sealed just like the Titanic when the designers said even God himself could not sink her. That ship was doomed before it ever left port, it was going to sink even if it had never left port. God will not be mocked. A friend told me what he through Obama would do, and I have always said that something like this would happen. Obama is being backed into a corner and at some time before the election Obama will fine a reason to declare Marshal Law then he can go after all the peoples guns and then he would not leave the office for as long as we are in Marshal Law Obama will remain in as our Dictator and if we the people don’t do as we are told then we will be put into one of the FEMA camps like the SS troops did. There they will most likely be killed because I know if we kill our own baby’s I know they would kill troublemakers. Obama is running in fear for he knows he will be impeached if the Republicans and the tea party gets in then he knows he’s history . I and thousands of other gun owners will not let this happen without a fight , They are people training every day to stand up to the ones that try to take our guns and shells . WE WILL FIGHT TO OUR LAST BREATH TO PROTECT OUR FAMILY’S AND OUR NATION . GOD BLESS AMERICIA
Let’s get some LEADERS with a BACKBONE!
