The Truth Behind Obamacare 6 Million Coverage Figure

The Obama administration is trumpeting that 6 million people have health coverage thanks to Obamacare.

Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a blog post Monday that "More than 6 million Americans have now either signed up for a private health insurance plan through the Marketplace or for Medicaid coverage."

But the numbers are somewhat misleading. Here are the figures:

-- 2.1 million Americans signed up for private health insurance through the federal and state exchanges through the end of December.

-- 3.9 million people learned they're eligible for Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) in October and November.

"Lies, damn lies and statistics."

If the military reported everyone who talked to a recruiter as an enlistee that would be comparable in concept to the OweBamacare scam.

Of course OweBamacare relies on conscription so it's not as far fetched as it might seem.
