We saw the same deception with the unemployment rate before the election. Play with the numbers or just outright lie to make it look like policies are working.
Another day, another lie from the Obama administration. I am putting this in politics because it's not about Obamacare, it's about lying to the people to hide the fact that this law isn't working.
Even the number they are claiming is nothing impressive. And that number isn't even accurate. Signing up isn't the same as actually enrolling and paying premiums and experts estimate about 20% will actually do that. Not to mention the number of people whose information was lost in the system and they are unaware of it.

. People in the industry say experience suggests it could be around 20 percent.Even if they did get 7.1 million people to sign up, it's not great achievement, since they themselves called it the minimum they needed.
But when you actually look inside the numbers, as Gallup has, you find there's much less to this supposed milestone than Obama and his media servants want you to think.
For one thing, when you factor in the number of people who signed up for ObamaCare because their old insurance got cancelled, we only see a net increase of 3.5 million people who are newly insured. There were 48 million when Obama took office. We tore our entire health insurance system from its roots for a net increase of 3.5 million? That's it?
But it gets worse. We still don't know how many of the 7.1 million people who signed up will never get coverage because they won't ever pay their premiums
