Health Insurance Official Testifies Before Congress: Many of Obamacare’s “Eight Million Enrollees” Are Actually Duplicates
In a House Energy and Commerce Oversight and Investigations subcommittee hearing this morning, a major health insurance trade association representative testified that the administration is reporting inflated enrollment numbers.
According to their testimony:
“Duplicate enrollments: Because of the challenges that surfaced with the launch of the Exchanges in October 2013, some consumers were advised to create a new account and enroll again. As a result, insurers have many duplicate enrollments in their system for which they never received any payment. In cases where an insurer has a new enrollment for a consumer who previously enrolled, they are not expecting that original policy to be effectuated – even though that data is still reported.”
In other words, due to website glitches, some individuals may have enrolled multiple times. In these cases, the government may count all of these enrollments toward the total enrollment number. The insurer, knowing that the individual enrolled multiple times, will count that individual as having paid.

Many of us thought the count was a lie and this proves it.

Unfortunately, the MSM will not report it.

I heard that obama accidently told the truth once in his life and has been angry at himself by it ever since. LBJ and Bill Clintons' lying pale in comparison to obama's ability to avoid the truth.
