HHS: More Than 6 Million Americans Have Signed Up For Health Care Coverage Through Marketplace. On March 27, the White House announced that ACA enrollments had surpassed the Congressional Budget Office's estimate of 6 million enrollees several days ahead of schedule. [Health and Human Services, 3/27/14]
KOOIMAN: So how on earth did they get to this number? Well navigators, apparently, are helping people enroll at Mexican consulates offices around the country. It's happening in Chicago, it's happening in Las Vegas. [...] The president earlier this month, do you remember him saying this? 
He said, you know, if you have a family where some people are citizens or legally here and others are not documented, the immigration people will never get that information. Also saying earlier this month that healthcare.gov is not going to be used to try to find out somebody's status, that it's not going to be checked there. Make sure you remember Brian, South Carolina congressman Joe Wilson saying 'you lie' back in 2009 that illegals wouldn't be covered. Well, maybe he had a point. 
DOOCY: At a number of Mexican consulates they're signing up, could be Mexican nationals, could be people of Mexican descent, for the Affordable Care Act.  [Fox News, Fox & Friends3/28/14]
once again Fox demeans the public intelligence and makes it sound like their lies were so good how could the target number get reached in light of all the misinfo, misleading, bald faced lies they spent 5 years spewing, if this sounds familiar you have heard this scenario play out to meltdown status Nov. 4th 2012.  brace yourself for more fantastic lies midterm style.  when you think you have it sowed up like media has been reporting why do you still feel you need to go to such extremes of skulduggery to assist in your slam dunking of the senate, house and the WH or are they remembering a movie "white men can't jump"?
