White House health care adviser Phil Schiliro said Tuesday that a goal of seven million people signing up for health insurance by the end of March was “never our target number,” attempting to downplay a figure that has been circulated for months.
“That was never our target number,” Mr. Schiliro said on MSNBC. “That was a target that was put out by the Congressional Budget Office and has become the accepted number.”
In June, Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius said the administration was “hopeful that seven million is a realistic target.” In an interview with NBC News a day before HealthCare.gov launched Oct. 1, Mrs. Sebelius said that “I think success looks like at least seven million people having signed up by the end of March 2014.”
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson
"If people can’t trust not only the executive branch but also don’t trust Congress, and don’t trust federal judges, to make sure that we’re abiding by the Constitution with due process and rule of law, then we’re going to have some problems here." - Barack Obama, June 7, 2013
Well some one needs to get those talking points over to the Daily Kos quickly. They'll spread the manure.
Zitat Oct: Game over, Goposaurs - your sado-nihilist B.S. has failed catastrophically. The ACA only needs 7 million people to sign up in the first six months for it to be financially viable, and in less than a month, more than half that number have already started the process.

1. How many people "start the process" for buying a car or a home versus how many complete the transaction*?
2. The way these things go is this: The first few weeks is usually as good as it ever gets, in terms of sign-ups.
* and those "positive", tangible, purchases/investments, whereas, insurance is a negative, intagible, expenditure.
