Yesterday, The Wall Street Journal reported that only about 10% of what the Obama administration had estimated had actually enrolled under Obamacare...
The trend continues among the state exchanges...Initial reports suggest that fewer than 50,000 people successfully navigated the troubled federal health-care website to enroll in private health insurance plans as of last week, two people familiar with the matter said Monday.
The early tally falls far short of internal goals set by President Barack Obama’s administration in the months leading up to the opening of the HealthCare.gov site Oct. 1, and the low number has worried health insurers that are counting on higher turnout.
So what does the Obama administration plan to do about this? Apparently, lie some more...Reuters: President Barack Obama's healthcare reform has reached only about 3 percent of its enrollment target for 2014 in 12 U.S. states where new online health insurance marketplaces are mostly working smoothly, a report released on Monday said.
States with functioning exchanges have signed up 49,100 people compared with the 1.4 million people expected to be enrolled for 2014, according to the report by healthcare research and consultancy firm Avalere Health.
Methodology? Uh huh...let's call it what it is: FRAUD. Everything about this president's administration is inflated for his sake. If only the federal government were as legally liable as what any publicly traded company would incur from this level of deceit.WaPo: Health insurance plans only count subscribers as enrolled in a health plan once they’ve submited a payment. That is when the carrier sends out a member card and begins paying doctor bills.
When the Obama administration releases health law enrollment figures later this week, though, it will use a more expansive definition. It will count people who have purchased a plan as well as those who have a plan sitting in their online shopping cart but have not yet paid.
“In the data that will be released this week, ‘enrollment’ will measure people who have filled out an application and selected a qualified health plan in the marketplace,” said an administration official, who requested anonymity to frankly describe the methodology.

ADDENDUM: Rush says, "The media is doing its level best to avoid reporting to low-information people the abject failure that is ObamaCare."
