Media lapdogs trumpet lousy, inaccurate Obamacare

enrollment figures
I see that while I was gone, the media didn't stop lying about the OCare enrollment
numbers that are likely half of what's being reported.

If the lapdogs are to be believed, Obamacare enrollment is going quite well:

975,000 people signed up for private health insurance plans through

@NolteNC Good ol' @CNN had a puff piece saying "good news for the President as
enrollment has hit it's stride". So biased it was disgusting.

Now, compared to what the Obama administration repeatedly assured us, these numbers are
pretty abysmal. But keep in mind that to the White House, enrollment doesnt mean actual
enrollment. As long as youve decided on a plan, youre enrolled even if you havent paid
for it. And that makes the medias excitement even more pathetic.
6 million cancellations. "Sign up" is not "Enroll." RT @ezraklein: Obamacare just might
net its 7 million sign-ups http://t.co/MA0AGzN8w9

And there are still plenty more cancellations to come.

Reminder: they have still not released any Obamacare *enrollment* numbers. Just
"shopping cart" numbers.

No insurance company on the planet extends coverage to customers who have never
paid their premiums.
