According to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, 80-90 percent of Obamacare enrollees have paid a premium.
The Secretary has been making a bit of a media blitz in the wake of the closure (sort of) of open-enrollment in the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare.
Sebelius said on KWTV-TV, in the video below: “What we know from insurance companies … tell(s) us that, for their initial customers, it’s somewhere between 80, 85, some say as high as 90 percent, have paid so far. Lots of companies have different timetables for when their new customers have to send their first payment.”
While it is known that more than 6 million people have signed up for the program, the White House has not provided specific figures when it comes to exactly how many people have actually paid a premium so far. However, White House press secretary Jay Carney has previously reported the figure at about 80 percent.
