Good question in response to this Obamacare-pimping tweet from the White House:
Good news: More than 5 million Americans have signed up for private health plans through the #ACA → http://t.co/r4CFMdRDSA #GetCoveredNow
— White House Archived (@ObamaWhiteHouse) March 17, 2014
Fox News’ Brit Hume then entered with his question for the White House:
And how many had coverage before and lost it because of Obamacare? “@BradOnMessage: @WhiteHouse how many have paid premiums?”
— Brit Hume (@brithume) March 17, 2014
Boom. Hume has summed up the disaster known as Obamacare before by noting its effect with devastating result: To uninsure the insured.

So again: How many of 5m have paid? And how many were previously uninsured?
— Byron York (@ByronYork) March 17, 2014
More good questions, but Mr. Hume again cut to the chase.
@ByronYork The key number is net newly insured. That would be total insured & paid minus number who lost coverage because of Obamacare.
— Brit Hume (@brithume) March 17, 2014
Could well be but hard to calculate since we don't know how many have paid. “@guypbenson by my count, that's less than 1 million.”
— Brit Hume (@brithume) March 17, 2014
Funny that.
@brithume @ByronYork I would just like to understand why we have to have this data recording conversation in this day and age.

But, transparency and stuff!
Hume also scored with this deadpan comment:

Boy, those sanctions sure backed him off. AP-Russian President Putin signs decree recognizing Crimea as "sovereign and independent country."
— Brit Hume (@brithume) March 17, 2014
Next up? Sternly worded letter. That will totally work.
