ObamaCare Realities…

(Daily Signal) In April, Obama claimed the ACA had met its goal of 7 Million sign-ups and costs were lower than expected, however these claims were quickly cast in doubt when rhetoric was confronted with facts which left one scratching their heads, does Obama even know what the facts are or just says whatever is written on his teleprompter?

Many however in the dinosaur media were just willing to accept the selectively released Obama Administration talking points, despite the White House often times providing inaccurate or incomplete information about HealthCare.gov

Flashback: Remember back in 2007 when Democrats led by then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and New York Sen Hillary Clinton were pushing the notion that we needed universal single payer health care (what subsequently dwarfed into the ObamaCare maze a few years later) to insure the allegedly 47 Million uninsured.

Subsequently in July 2009 Obama using the Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton data, reiterated those same talking points in a nationally televised press conference, claiming that there are 47 Million Americans without health insurance.

This now begs the question of how is it that ObamaCare is working so well when so many fewer having signed up for health insurance than those 47 Million Americans that Democrats claimed were without health insurance and would run to become insured if only government would make health insurance available to all?

Last week, Democrats on the House Oversight and Govt Reform Committee released a fact sheet using data from 13 insurance companies and claimed actual initial health exchange enrollments exceeded insurance company projections by 4% or 3,785,753

“This result was achieved despite significant challenges with federal and state websites,” Rep Elijah Cummings (D-MD) said.

Obama’s claims of 7 or is it 8 Million newly insured or the House Democrats claims of 3.78 Million newly insured remains far short of their initial stated goal.

Which leaves one asking: What is ObamaCare success, when Democrats keep moving the goal posts?
