What we do not know about the ObamaCare enrollment. On thing for certain: the Dems believe if they can lie their way to 6.5 to 7 million "enrollees," they come out as winners.

Why is "7 million" so important that the Dems will lie their way to that number?  Listen to what Joe Biden has to say:  

<<<<   But let me tell you why the deadline tomorrow is among the most important: If we wake up on Tuesday and find out we came up short, we're in bad shape for November -- that is not hyperbole.


What is the truth about the ObamaCare sign-ups?  Here are the facts as we know them to be.

1.  Eight days ago, the Administration,  experts in the bait and switch,  were telling us that they had reached the 4.5 million applicant mark for ObamaCare.

2.  Within two days,  that number was rounded up to "five million."

3.  By Wednesday evening,  just five days later,  the Administration was touting "six million" signees.  And why was this information released on Thursday morning?  To give them Friday,  Saturday and Sunday to pretend that they have added another half million or more and claim that they have reached their goal,  "against all odds."

4.  From reports in Left Leaning news sources,  we know that only 1 out 10 of the previously uninsured have signed up for "ObamaCare," or, intend to sign-up.   I put ObamaCare in quotes,  because the Feds are counting Medicaid enrollments and folks who tried but failed as "signees."

5.  We know that there is a box folks can check,  to avoid penalties,  confirming the "fact" they would have completed sign-up requirements,  if it was not for the problems of the website's malfeasance. Understand,  this is a "box" printed on the application.  It can be counted !!  But no one in the Administration knows how many folks have checked this box.  No one knows, therefore,  how many of the 6 to 6.5 million Americans are not actually enrolled.

6.  What is the number of Medicaid enrollees versus ObamaCare enrollees?   You should know that "ObamaCare" is NOT  Medicaid.  They are two very different entities.  Medicaid was already here,  already part of the national healthcare scene.  Some are estimating that 2/3 of those who have "enrolled,"  whatever that number is,  are Medicaid recipients.

7.  Medicaid has over spent its current revenues,  by a total of 42 trillion dollars.  Our national/annual budget,  borrowed money and all,  is 3.8 trillion.  And now,  ObamaCare is going to funnel millions of folks, more,  into this broken system.

8.  We know that 6.2 million folks lost their existing insurance policies.  We do not know how many enrolled in ObamaCare or were transferred to the inferior,  single-payer system we call Medicaid.

9.  We know that if the "6.5 to 7  million" number,  soon to reported as a fact,  was a true counting of those who signed up for ObamaCare exclusive of Medicaid,   we would be back to a total of "zero" on the over-all number of insured,  in this country.

10. And,  no one is talking about the rescission rate.   Insurance companies often report a rescission rate (customer's deciding to not continue their payments) of 30%.  In fact,  this fairly high rate actually adds to the bottom line,  for insurance carriers,  giving them income without any serious expenditures  . . . .   free money.

11. What we don't know is this: how will the fact that this law governs required monthly payments from now to eternity effect the national politic and the financial health of the nation.  And,  how will this bill's requirement to buy insurance and keep the policies current,  be policed?   The mechanics of enforcement,  is another unknown.
