If the lapdogs are to be believed, Obamacare enrollment is going quite well:

As 2013 Comes to an End, Obamacare Starting to Look Pretty Healthy http://t.co/1VNHK99OoW

Now, compared to what the Obama administration repeatedly assured us, these numbers are pretty abysmal. But keep in mind that to the White House, “enrollment” doesn’t mean actual enrollment. As long as you’ve decided on a plan, you’re “enrolled” — even if you haven’t paid for it. And that makes the media’s excitement even more pathetic.
6 million cancellations. "Sign up" is not "Enroll." RT @ezraklein: Obamacare just might net its 7 million sign-ups http://t.co/MA0AGzN8w9

And there are still plenty more cancellations to come.
ER, UM? The gov. didn’t say how many people have paid for their plans the final step to complete their enrollment. http://bloom, bg/1ejwQkV

Reminder: they have still not released any Obamacare *enrollment* numbers. Just "shopping cart" numbers.

It shouldn't be that difficult for reporters to note that WH "enrollment" numbers are bunk. If you haven't paid, you're not enrolled.

No insurance company on the planet extends coverage to customers who have never paid their premiums.
