Rep. Stockman blasts Obama administration's absurd definition of 'Obamacare enrollee'

Twitter is starting to erupt over the Obama administration’s new definition of an Obamacare “enrollee,” which now includes anyone who has placed a plan in their “cart” on Healthcare.gov (no purchase required!). As always, Rep. Steve Stockman is among the first to point out the absurdity with a series of scathing tweets.

Obama is now calculating Obamacare enrollments the same way Enron calculated assets. http://t.co/VCdoIvfXBx

"Enrollee" now includes those who put a plan in their "shopping cart" but didn't buy. If Amazon operated that way the CEO would go to prison

If you've ever visited WebMD you now count as an Obamacare enrollee.

If you bought a "Scrubs" DVD on Amazon you now count as an Obamacare enrollee.
