Success or Bad April Fools Joke You decide

Obama claimed success with 7.1 million sign ups on Exchange and millions more on their Parents plans and Medicaid

BUT

Reports have over 6 million Americans losing their insurance based on Insurance Companies numbers.

then there is this from a Forbes article

The estimate based on a new Rand Corporation study is that only 858,000 Americans signed up on the Obamacare Exchanges were previously uninsured

On the claimed millions still on their parents plans

Moreover, that data is now outdated, as later HHS surveys show that health coverage for 18 to 25 year olds has since declined from 2010, Hogberg adds. That is why HHS has not released any new data on the point for almost two years now.

In addition, Hogberg further demonstrates based on 2012 data from the far less politicized Census Bureau, which breaks out data for Medicaid and employer provided health insurance, that the number of young adults gaining coverage on their parents’ health insurance under Obamacare totals at most 258,000.

On the claimed millions of those signed up under Medicaid

Obama already got 3 pinocchios for that claim, that came with a warning to other news outlets thinking they would quote Obama's claimed Medicaid numbers. The real number Might be as high a 400,000 but nowhere close to the 4 million Obama claimed.

So you decide are Obama's April Fools Day Rose Garden numbers to be trusted or were they a Bad Joke on the more than willing to believe Democrat Base in hopes to get the Dems through the 2014 elections?

The whole damn thing is a bad April Fools Day joke, and the regime will do their best to cover up, but I don't see how their can't be some real stats that will very damaging to the left by midterms.

I guess that it is a good thing to "fact-check" what comes out of Washington, but honestly now, does anyone actually believe anything that the government publishes?

A couple of years ago I simply turned the government off. I don't pay any attention to anything that they say. While the Federal govenment is the worst, our State and Local governments are also riddled with "spin-meisters" to the point that nothing the government says is trustworthy.

I don't see any hope for the long-term survival of our country.
