“Kentucky Obamacare success” is an Obama-generated lie

Google the words ‘Kentucky Obamacare’ and the word ‘success’ will come up by default. It’s a lie pushed first by President Obama on October 2nd and has been propelled by the MSM since, but today we have the real numbers.

Obama, who won 679K votes in Kentucky last year, said the following on the 2nd day of the Shutdown:

In Kentucky alone — this is a state where — I didn’t win Kentucky. So I know they weren’t doing it for me.  In Kentucky, nearly 11,000 people applied for new insurance plans in the first two days — just in one state, Kentucky.

A week later, Bussinessweek wrote:

By Monday [October 7th] afternoon, 6,946 families had enrolled in plans through Kynect and the website had handled 3.1 million page views, according to the governor’s office. Soon after the launch, Beshear was talking to CNN’s Sanjay Gupta and MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, making the [Democratic] red-state Governor a visible public face of Obamacare.

So 6,946 families signed up the first week, Mr. Governor? Hmmm. As per the Federal Government, only 5,586 plans were selected as of November 2nd!

It turns out those rosy numbers were mostly Medicaid, which is NOT part of the sign-up target for Obamcare. 28,676 people signed up for Medicaid in KY as of the latest filing, but it’s not something that the lying President or Dem Governor told you at the time.
