So THIS Is How They Reached (**cough**) 7.1 Million...!

BREAKING: HHS Started Obamacare Applications for Americans Without Their Knowledge or Permission

​

How do you get from 5 million Obamacare enrollees to 7.1 million Obamacare enrollees in two weeks?

You start the applications yourself.

Health and Human Services was mailing out letters notifying certain Americans that they had already started a healthcare coverage application on their behalf.

HHS had started the applications for them.

The Shark Tank reported:

News of the HHS letter was first mentioned by a listener of the popular “Daybreak with Drew Steele” Show on Fox 92.5, which is out of Fort Myers, Florida.

After his radio show concluded, another listener emailed Steele telling him about receiving the same letter. The listener asked for their identity to masked because they worked for the state of Florida.

HHS urged enrollees to “confirm” information and “choose a plan before the deadline.”

Oh! The heartless bastards! How could they urge people to confirm their information and choose a plan before the deadline? It's almost like they are trying to get people enrolled.

 

All that is left at this point is the phony outrage and the criticizing of the rest of the media for passing on this non-story.

<----Phony outrage.

 

There. I fixed that for you.

 

Maybe you should reread your own link.

 

I swear, calling you idiots lame is insulting to anyone with lower limb issues. Although lower limbs and you guys certainly are firmly affixed to assholes.

 

You stupid moron. "They [the State of Florida] set up an account for me" pretty much says it all. The guy didn't want an account and he didn't want to finish the process. But, nooooooooo, Florida set up an account regardless. HHS probably counted him among the 7.1 million, don't you think? Well, no, you don't think and that's your problem.

 

Uh-Huh! All I can do is laugh at you fools.

 

I think we're just going to say funny things now.

The GOP blaming President Obama for the slow recovery is like John Wilkes Booth blaming Lincoln for missing the second act of the play.

There you go again! When will you learn that no one cares what you think?

 

You don't care what he thinks? Isn't it obvious that he's lying when he claims he's even capable of thinking?

 

Oh, don't shoot the messenger.

 

Obamacare "truthers" Who could have seen that coming? Answer: EVERYONE!!!

Let's introduce these folks...

Meet The Obamacare Enrollment Truthers

On the final day of open enrollment for the Affordable Care Act, right-wing media have resorted to echoing Republicans and accusing the White House of "cooking the books" on the latest enrollment figures.
As Affordable Care Act Enrollment May Hit 7 Million By Deadline, Republicans Are In Denial

Bloomberg: "Early Returns Suggesting The Obama Administration May Approach The 7 Million Sign-Ups" Originally Expected. On March 31 Bloomberg reported that "the government last week said 6 million Americans had enrolled by March 27, and today reported that 2.9 million people visited healthcare.gov over the weekend." [Bloomberg, 3/31/14]
The New Republic: Republicans Insist New Enrollment Figures Aren't Real, Claim Administration Is "Cooking The Books." After noting the latest projections of nearly 7 million enrollees, The New Republic's Jonathan Cohn wrote:

Even accounting for the fact that some of these people won't actually pay their premiums, these figures would seem to undermine--or at least weaken--the argument that Obamacare is a catastrophic failure. Republicans and many of their allies obviously think otherwise. They are doing what they almost always do when data confounds their previously held beliefs. They are challenging the statistics--primarily, by suggesting that most of the people getting insurance already had coverage. Some, like Senator John Barrasso of Wyoming, say the administration is "cooking the books." Others, like Senator Ted Cruz, say that the number of people without insurance is actually rising. [The New Republic, 3/31/14]​

Right-Wing Media Echo GOP, Accuse White House Of "Cooking The Books" On ACA Enrollment Figures

Sean Hannity: "They Are Cooking The Books On This Thing." On the March 31 edition of his radio show, Sean Hannity claimed that "millions of Obamacare applicants appeared out of thin air" and accused the White House of "cooking the books" in his attack on the health care law. [Premiere Radio Networks, The Sean Hannity Show, 3/31/14]
Fox's The Five Questioned How "Magically They Hit The Number." On the March 31 edition of Fox News' The Five, co-hosts Kimberly Guilfoyle and Eric Bolling touted Sen. John Barrasso's (R-WY) claim that the administration is "cooking the books" while mocking the White House claim that 6 million Americans have already enrolled. Guilfoyle asked how "magically they hit the number" while Bolling said "we don't know how many people have actually signed up, we have to take people's words for it." [Fox News, The Five, 3/31/14]
Rush Limbaugh: "When Have They Not Lied About Obamacare?" On the March 31 edition of his radio show, Rush Limbaugh doubted the enrollment figures and asked, "why should anybody believe it, why can't the government prove it?" Limbaugh insisted that "the real question is, when have they not lied about Obamacare?" [Premiere Radio Networks, The Rush Limbaugh Show, 3/31/14]
But The Enrollment Numbers Include Figures From States, Not Just The White House

Los Angeles Times' Hiltzik: "The Most Encouraging Figures Don't Come From The Federal Government At All, but From States With Their Own Enrollment Programs." In a March 31 post, Los Angeles Times columnist Michael Hiltzik explained that accusations of the White House "cooking the books" ignore the fact that many people enrolled through state-based exchanges and not the federally-run HealthCare.gov:

What makes this claim particularly fatuous is that the most encouraging figures don't come from the federal government at all, but from states with their own enrollment programs. The eight states with the best records of signing up their eligible citizens in exchange plans (actually seven states and D.C.), all have their own exchanges and websites. Vermont leads the parade at 83% enrolled. California, which leads all states in number of exchange enrollees at more than 1 million, ranks fourth with a 41% outreach rate.​

If the feds are cooking the books, they've cooked them to look worse, not better -- the 36 states that dumped their enrollment responsibilities on the federal government are clustered at the bottom of the list, most of them with enrollment rates of 20% or less of eligible citizens. Many of these are states that actively discouraged or interfered with enrollments of their citizens in health insurance plans -- behavior that should be grounds for impeachment or recall of their governors and legislators. [Los Angeles Times, 3/31/14]​

 

Since when is BHO responsible for what Florida does? And was this guy already in the Florida system and they took the expansion and were transferring him off to ACA?

 

You really care to know what Obamacare truthers think?

 

They think?
