The data was paraded around as a talking point ahead of the Obama administration's final release of stats from the law's first open enrollment period.
On Wednesday, that talking point blew up.
Three of the country's largest insurers — Aetna, WellPoint, and Health Care Service Corp., which operates Blue Cross Blue Shield plans in several states — said between 80-90% of new customers who enrolled through Obamacare paid their first month's premiums. Executives from the companies announced the news in testimony before the very same House Committee on Energy and Commerce where Republicans touted the contrary data last week."

Hey, BigTits ... did you actually read the shit you posted? Let me dissect it:
"80-90% of new customers who enrolled through Obamacare" in
"Blue Cross Blue Shield plans in several states" ...
not "enrollees in insurance exchanges established by the Affordable Care Act"
Does "apples and oranges" make sense?
According to BCBS's own "poop" sheet (used to pronounce "shit" sometimes) in 50 states the have only about 1/3 of the population market and the report you cite speaks of "Blue Cross Blue Shield plans in several states" ... not "nationwide." So for whatever reason the BCBS plans reported were "cherry picked" among the 50 states to show "higher" enrollment numbers ... AND BTW ... have you ever signed up for BCBS and been ACCEPTED ..... WITHOUT PAYING THE FIRST PREMIUM?...
Again ... "apples and oranges" ... you cut and paste is the same as ...
.... CJ4's .... numbers playing to make things look better than they are.
