Another right wing Obamacare lie gets flushed down the toilet

Remember during the ACA enrollment period when right wingers were concern trolling and saying Obamacare enrollees probably wouldn't even pay for their coverage and the whole system would collapse?

Well....

Almost All Obamacare Enrollees Are Paying For Coverage

The Obama administration on Thursday finally revealed how many people paid for Obamacare on the national and state health insurance exchanges: 7.3 million.

<...>

Nevertheless, the confirmed 7.3 million paid sign-ups appears to repudiate the predictions of doomsayers that huge numbers of Obamacare enrollees would dump their plans or fail to pay their premiums. This tally also exceeds last year's Congressional Budget Office projection that 7 million people would enroll and its revised projection from earlier this year of 6 million enrollees.

The media was proclaiming Obamacare to be a total disaster.

The media has swept all the Obamacare success under the rug since then.

Liberal media!!!

Our media is so fucked up it's crazy.

I spent some time trying to figure out what they meant. Finally decided they were being sarcastic. As time went by I figured out they weren't but that they were simply demented!

Our so called Media,has not done one story about how the Rethugs had groups just hammering the hell out of ACA sign up web sites. Nothing here move along. BTW,we should be paying attention as to what transpires in Minnesota with MnSure. Seems the Major low ball insurance writer is now wanting to bail out for the 2015 sign up. This needs some big time investigating. Something smells to high hell here. Got a hunch some shaky shit is going on behind the scenes and could it be the Minnetonka based blood suckers?
