The Patriot Post® · 645K vs. 5M Calls? Oops!

The Los Angeles Times reports:

> “California’s health insurance exchange vastly overstated the number of online hits it received Tuesday during the rollout of Obamacare. State officials said the Covered California website got 645,000 hits during the first day of enrollment, far fewer than the 5 million it reported Tuesday. The state exchange had cited the 5 million figure as a sign of strong consumer interest and a major reason people had so much difficulty using its $313-million online enrollment system. Dana Howard, a spokesman for Covered California, said the error was the result of internal miscommunication. ‘Someone misspoke and thought it was indeed 5 million hits. That was incorrect,’ he said.”

645K vs. 5M … what difference does it make? The health care law’s so popular than even its unpopularity makes it popular! Or something…
