Dishonest or just inept? How are Americans supposed to believe anything the Obama regime claims about Obamacare if the White House can’t even offer an accurate count of how many ObamaCare enrollees have paid their premiums?
The administration boasted President Obama’s highly touted health care exchange program enrolled 5 million Americans, but if they don’t know how many have paid the premiums due, perhaps even the 5 million is just a vague estimate or even pure fabrication.
“CMS is working to provide more detailed data on who has already paid their premiums…but we don’t have specific data that is in a reliable enough form to provide,” Carney admitted to reporters during Tuesday’s White House Briefing.
Below is a transcript of the exchange:
ED HENRY: Jay, can I ask you about health care? You started out by saying 5 million people have enrolled. Is that the correct word, “enrolled,” since we still don’t know how many people have actually paid their premiums? Is it 5 million signed up? Will we get the information on who’s actually enrolled and paid their premiums?
MR. CARNEY: CMS is working to provide more detailed data on who has already paid their premiums, what percentage of the population of enrollees that includes.
We can point you to major insurers who have placed that figure at 80 percent, give or take, depending on the insurer, but we don’t have specific data that is, you know, in a reliable enough form to provide.

There’s been sources of 80% of 5M had paid premiums. That would be a high percentage to boast about. The truth is..they’re not even near that level. I honestly don’t trust them about the 5M enrollments much less paid sign-ups. I mean really”. Just last Thursday they claimed 4.2M enrollments..Then over the weekend suddenly 800k new enrollments?..At 800k weekly pace. They wouldn’t have no problem enrolling 7M by March 31.
All of the above
This should officially mark this White House or administration as the most clueless in history! What do they know – If anything??!
