Officials: People Returning To HealthCare.gov 'In Droves'
Officials: People Returning To HealthCare.gov 'In Droves'

Nearly three-fourths of those who have purchased health insurance on HealthCare.gov since early December were people returning to the site after visiting in October and November, according to senior administration officials.

A survey on the federal website found that 73 percent of those who had completed enrollment in recent weeks said they had first come to the site in the previous two months, officials said. The Obama administration did not declare the site fully fixed until Dec. 1.

The officials touted the figure as evidence that people were giving HealthCare.gov a second chance after its disastrous launch, which had raised questions about whether frustrated consumers would abandon the sign-up process.

"I think we can definitively say that we just haven't seen that," one official said. "Folks have come back, and they're coming back in droves."

Just wait until they find out they aren't actually covered.

They don't even try to make their lies believable anymore.  

This is sad, but get used to it. Propaganda will be presented as news from now on.

Well, ProgSense, I'm pretty sure that just about anyone wanting to go on Obamacare now DID try to go on two months ago, so that meaningless headline doesn't even qualify as a meaningless stat.  Let's see what the real numbers show when that wack-job at HHS finally lets them out of her claw-like grip.

It would be better to look at <<WHO>> are returning to OCare 'in droves' first -

-because if it continues to be the sick and the elderly, and not the healthy and young, the only result will be that the whole program is driven further into insolvency. -That will result in higher premiums and deductibles for every one of OCare's members.

I found it so funny that I chocked and died on my own spittle.

Fortunately, the cat on her way to her supper plate, hopped off the couch and landed on my chest causing me to catch a breath.

     What I find the funniest is that there is an entire art department somewhere, as well as an art director, a stylist, photographer, DHS liaisons, and so many others who designed and approved this monument to effete, 0bama-worshipping MSNBC acolytes. All 500 or so of them.

     Right now there are thousands of womynfolk in Willamsburg, Silver Lake, Madison, and Ann Arbor that can't contain the drooling from their freshly-shaven moosey gooseys, not because they want to sign up for this shitty healthcare, but because they want to know where that model is so they can uproot him from the faggy vagaries of his own life and enmire him in the politically correct ballbustathons they call their lives.

Yeah, but now 'Julia' is finding out that she has to pay out her ass for health 'coverage' that covers geriatric services for a 30-year-old, and that she has to burn through $3,000 for herself before that 'coverage' kicks in--and pays less of her medical bills than her 'junk' policy did.  Julia's also finding out that her kindly OB/GYN who is in her 50s is retiring, because said OB/GYN can't make a living off of what she'll now be paid, and now Julia has to go 35 miles--one way--to get an appointment with a new OB/GYN who graduated at the bottom of his class (and really wanted to go into cardio-thoracic surgery), and is thinking that some young patient is going to fulfill all of his 'Girls Gone Wild' fantasies.

I heard his comments, to the effect that Julia was actually a big hit with its target demographic, despite its glaring stupidity.  However, I am not convinced that anyone who wasn't going to already vote democrat even watched the damn' thing.

You can't find out the class rank from a medical school. All of the Diplomas say the same thing: DOCTOR. My niece and her husband graduated in the top ten of their respective med school class of 200 and 250. If they hadn't told me, I would never know. their diplomas are handed out alphabetically, unlike their college diplomas which were handed out by departmental rank.
