At 12:01 AM, White House Chief Technology Officer Todd Park acknowledged to QSSI, the Columbia, Maryland firm tasked with fixing Healthcare.gov that the ACA enrollments have surpassed the 7 million mark.
Park and QSSI employees celebrated with champagne after the early morning announcement in the lobby of the building as they are not allowed to drink alcohol in the offices at QSSI. Park led the countdown into the end of the enrollment deadline and preceded with a speech to the workers where he acknowledged a the number set out by CBO was surpassed.
Park said ?Everyone thought that was impossible?you actually exceeded the seven million goal.?

It’s their April Fool’s prank.
Just wait until these people try to use their newly purchased healthcare plan, they are in for a rude awakening.
The best lesson on how the government can royally fuck things about is about to be taught.

More on the bogus enrollment figures:

Roughly 1,800 New Jersey children had their insurance plans cancelled last week due to Obamacare.
Just got my Obama Care seems like a good price & good coverage
Prior to Obama care I was paying $500 per month for 2 adults 3 kids. My deductable was 5K, office visits $30 speacialists $50. This had a prescription plan and all the normal things like emergency visits. They didnt cover pre-existing problems due to accidents ect. Only covered surgerys where I had to stay nights. This was through Blue cross Blue shield. Prior to them I had the same thing with Assurant they werent much better
I now pay $192 per month total 2 adults 3 kids. Deductable is 4K, Office visits free if primary doc, $20 in network, $50 for speacialists. Has prescription plan $5 for generics. No issue with pre-existing stuff, all surgerys coverd as long as they are not cosmetic. All preventative care is free like kids shots ect…Its ran through coventry so its pretty solid company. All in all Im getting more for less
At first the site was horid. After 2-3 times and some help from the 800# we figured it out. Once you can create a account its easy to use like booking a vacation trip. You can compare plans. All the other guys I know that are self employed seem to like it too.

lmao, yes because basic economics and math escapes you.
You (copy and paste from OFA material):
“Let me see, I get more and pay less. This shit is great”
Meanwhile, someone who understands economics says:
“hmmm, I know the costs of those things didn’t go down that much, so who is now paying the difference?”

Basic economics does not escape me I paid $500 for XY now I pay $192 for XYZ its just a better deal. I can only speak for myself not the nation.
Dont know what OFA is I just posted my own personal expierence with the program
Not sure about all the ins and outs but since I have to pay for my own health insurance Im not going back to the old broker and paying $500 anymore thats really out of our budget and for what I got it was a bad deal even then
Do you buy your insurance or is it provided to you?

lmao. Again. You pay less for more services, and the costs of those services are the same as they always were.
Yes, basic economics is lost on you.
lol, better deal.
I forgo the HI my employer pays 100% for, to pay for it through my wife’s employer because it is a much better plan.
So yeah. I pay for it, and more than you did and much more than you do now.
Only 1.4 million of the 3.9 million people who gained insurance under the exchanges were uninsured last year.
