‘We don’t have specific data that is in a reliable enough form to provide’

White House Still Doesn’t Know How Many People Paid Their ObamaCare Premiums (Capitol City Project)

At a White House Press Briefing today, Jay Carney was asked how many people are actually enrolled in Obamacare that have paid their premiums. He could not directly answer the question, instead saying “we don’t have specific data in a reliable enough form to provide.”

“CMS is working to provide more detailed data on who has already paid their premiums, what percentage of the population of enrollees. That includes, we can point you to, major insurers who have placed that figure at 80 percent– give or take — depending on the insurer. But we don’t have specific data in a reliable enough form to provide,” Carney said.
