Of course the Koch Brothers GOP / Tea Party analysis of Obamacare is proven wrong. Critical FOX NEWS is suddenly silent. ******************* he Critics Wrong Tom McKays avatar image By Tom McKay 13 hours ago SHARE TWEET Obamacare just blew past another critical marker of success. According to numbers released by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on Thursday, 7.3 million Americans have not only registered for health care plans but are now actually paying for them. The 7.3 million figure, obtained on Aug. 15, shows that predictions from the right that Obamacare enrollment numbers were inflated by people who had signed up but would never actually pay for the plans just havent materialized. If anything, the opposite seems to be true — people are rapidly signing up for health care plans under the Affordable Care Act, and theyre eager to make use of their new coverage. The total number may actually be 115,000 lower, as the 7.3 million figure includes people whose immigration or citizenship data doesnt match up with government records. But officials are pretty confident that the 7.3 million number is both broadly accurate and a major sign of the programs success. We are encouraged by the number of consumers who paid their premiums and continue to enroll in the marketplace coverage every day through special enrollment periods, CMS Administrator Marilyn Tavenner informed the House Oversight Committee, adding that 7.3 million was a really strong number. mic/articles/99220/obamacare-hits-another-major-milestone-and-proves-all-the-critics-wrong
