It seems like only yesterday the right-wing shills were mocking the low number of signups. This is what happens when you celebrate victory after the first quarter:

I am just happy they have stopped screaming about his birth certificate. Their naked racism was predictable, yet indicative of deeper mental problems. I was also relieved to see his re-election and look forward to right-wing squeals being reduced to feeble squeaking yelps and overflowing drool cups come 2016.

When a 1 is counted as a 2, 3 or 4........success is an engineered answer.

AKA phony.

In a nutshell, they used Common Core math to tally up the totals.

It 'succeeded' using the same methods it was passed.

Raymond, how many that signed up were already insured but lost their insurance because of Obamacare?

How many of these people actually paid a premium?

After you subtract those the more important question that seems to be getting sidelined is what is the ratio of sick people to healthy people for new enrolls?

The numbers are very positive. 14 million have insurance because of the ACA. More than 7 million have enrolled and the numbers continue to pour in. The website had 1.4 million viewers on Sat

and what does Fox report... typical inaccuracies.

By 2023 we will still have 31 Million non-elderly uninsured Americans and total cost will be 2.5 Trillion Dollars over that time period at a cost of 2.5 Million jobs per the CBO.

Let's just assume Obama were honest (LOL, I know)...and didn't lie...remove all of the lies he used to sell this highly inefficient and ineffective law.

Obama lies to sell this law:
-Lied about the circumstances of his own mother's death to score political points and even repeated the lie with teary eyes after he had been caught in it.

-If you like your doctor, if you like your plan, you can keep them, period. He then lied about what he said - as if what he said wasn't on tape...he must really think his voters are idiots.

-Save $2,500 per family per year in premiums.

-Pass the law in the most transparent way possible with all debates live on CSPAN.

-etc...

No way he could pass this law by stating the facts at the top.
