This afternoon, the Associated Press shared something that doesn’t exactly inspire confidence in the already-shaky Obama administration:
BREAKING: BREAKING: Data discrepancies in health care signups affect 2 million people, could jeopardize coverage.

The AP definitely succeeded in getting tweeters’ attention:

I hope the “BREAKING: BREAKING:” by @AP I just saw was a paste error and not some “BREAKING:” enhancement. 🙂

The additional “breaking” is certainly worth a chuckle, but as has been proven time and time again, Obamacare is no laughing matter.
@DrewMTips I think the first "BREAKING" was the status of ObamaCare, the second is the status of the story.

The status of Obamacare is horrendous.

More from the AP:
More than 2 million people who got health insurance under President Barack Obama’s law have data discrepancies that could jeopardize coverage for some, a government document shows.
Two million people works out to about one out of four who signed up, creating a huge paperwork headache for the feds, and exposing some consumers to repayment demands if they got too generous a subsidy — or even loss of coverage.
The 7-page slide presentation from the Health and Human Services department was provided to The Associated Press as several congressional committees are actively investigating the discrepancies, most of which involve important details on income, citizenship and immigration status.
It’s pretty sad that this kind of news isn’t even surprising:

But what’s even sadder is the fact that it’s only going to get worse.
