The ObamaCARE enrollee numbers are so pathetic that Obama has figured out a way to fudge the numbers and try to make them seem less shitty. Obama is actually going to include people who have abandoned shopping carts on healthcare.gov as ‘enrollees’ even though they never signed up, never paid any money, and have never come back to actually sign up!
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.
The disparity in the numbers is likely to further inflame the political fight over the Affordable Care Act. Each side could choose a number to make the case that the health law is making progress or failing miserably.
