serves as a model for the sycophantic behavior of Corporate media repeating GOP disinformation and memes countless times without ever once examining the oft repeated and unquestioned assumptions and insinuations of GOP attacks on the Democrats, Obama, government and science (i.e. global warming). The GOP owes a lot to their toadies who dominate and run Corporate M$M.
over the last few days the GOP toadies of Corporate Media have relentlessly repeated the 26,794 figure for those who successfully signed up for health insurance on the government healthcare.gov website in October. But none of them, that I know of, made mention of another bit of data for October. That of the 846,184 who set up accounts on Healthcare.gov but have not yet selected a plan and the 1,509,883: individuals applying for coverage with completed applications.
Now, generally speaking, you can be pretty safe in saying that people who went to the trouble of setting up accounts on this site are serious about signing up for one of the health insurance plans. I think most people would agree that deciding which plan you want to sign up for is not a snap decision. It's not like choosing between buying a Snickers bar vs a Milky Way. Most people will probably print out the descriptions of the features of the various plans - in more than one level - to look it over at length. But, mentioning the 864,000 accounts successfully set -up covering 1.5 million people would not be consistent with the GOP's narrative that the ACA is an unmitigated disaster.
