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.

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