Obamacare Sign-Ups Were Inflated With Dental Plans

[Revmitchell]

The Obama administration said it erroneously calculated the number of people with health coverage under the Affordable Care Act, incorrectly adding 380,000 dental subscribers to raise the total above 7 million.

The accurate number with full health-care plans is 6.7 million as of Oct. 15, a spokesman for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services confirmed today, saying the U.S. won’t include dental plans in future reports.

“The mistake we made is unacceptable,” Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell said on her verified Twitter account. “I will be communicating that clearly throughout the department.”

The error was brought to light by Republican investigators for the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, using data they obtained from the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Liars. They knew exactly what they were doing. The magic number was 7 million. They simply made it happen.

Another example of a whatever it takes administration.

Rev ..... that just shows "teeth" in this law! And the "bite" it will take out of our economy one way or another! So "brace" yourself for the annual cost to your policy to be "filled" with hidden charges to pay for this insurance! And through it all, our economy and take home pay will continue to "decay!" :smilewinkgrin:
