So it begins - Sen. Barrasso: Admin ‘Cooking the Books’ on Obamacare Numbers

I turned on the local news radio station about 20 minutes ago and heard the gist of this -


Sen. Barrasso: Admin ‘Cooking the Books’ on Obamacare Numbers
by Evan McMurry | 10:20 am, March 30th, 2014 VIDEO 593

On Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace ran down the information still missing from the Obamacare enrollment numbers, such as how many have paid and how many are young invincibles, and asked Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) what the 6 million enrollee figure recently released by the Obama administration meant given its incomplete nature.

“I don’t think it means anything,” Barrasso said. “I think they’re cooking the books on this.”

“People want the answers to this,” Barrasso continued. “They also want to know, once all this is said and done, what kind of insurance will people actually have. Will they be able to keep their doctor? What will it actually cost them?”

This is how you can tell they're losing. Where have we heard this utterance before?

Unbelievable jobs numbers..these Chicago guys will do anything..can't debate so change numbers

— Jack Welch (@jack_welch) October 5, 2012

Immediately following of a jobs report showing unemployment below 8 percent for the first time in four years, former General Electric CEO Jack Welch accused the White House of skewing the numbers to help President Obama win.

Welch doubled down on his accusation in an afternoon interview with the Wall Street Journal, saying, "I wasn't kidding."

Maybe they should stop by their buddy Ted Cruz's Facebook page.

That's all that needs to be said about those idiots. Imagine where the numbers would be if they had expanded Medicaid nationwide.

I'm in a state (PA) where they refused to expand Medicaid but instead are now hemming and hawing about getting HHS approval for an "alternative". Meanwhile, time ticks by and the state government becomes its own death panel.

All I can say is that PAers need to GOTV this November to get a Dem governor in to replace Corbett.
