(Breitbart) – President Barack Obama’s much-touted 8 million Obamacare enrollment number was inflated by 1.3 million, the Obama administration now admits.
“The mistake we made is
unacceptable,” tweeted Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary
Sylvia Burwell. “I will be communicating that clearly throughout the
department.”
Burwell, now under fire for the inflated figures, says the
Obama administration counted nearly 400,000 dental plan subscribers as health
insurance customers to boost the figures. In September,
HHS admitted Obama’s oft-cited eight million enrollment figure was
inflated by 700,000 and was really 7.3 million.
Burwell conceded Americans may remain ”skeptical” about
the Obama administration’s numbers but said she hopes “our clarity that this is
a mistake and the fact that we have quickly corrected the numbers should give
people confidence.”
Admission of the 1.3 million Obamacare “mistake” comes on the
heels of newly uncovered videos of Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber
admitting the Obama administration actively misled voters about the president’s
healthcare overhaul.
“Lack of transparency is a huge political
advantage,” said Gruber. “Call it the stupidity of the American voter
or whatever, but basically that was really critical to getting the thing to
pass.”
According to Gallup, Obamacare is now at an all-time
low approval rating of just 37%.
