Taxpayers Shell Out $14,000 per Obamacare “Enrolleeâ€
$5.2 billion for just 364,682 “enrolleesâ€
In her testimony before Congress today, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius provided an updated dollar amount for the cost of HealthCare.gov: $677 million. In addition to the $677 million spent on the federal Obamacare website, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has shoveled $4.5 billion of taxpayer money to promote Obamacare on the state level.
HHS also released updated “enrollment†figures for Obamacare. According to the agency 364,682 people have “selected a plan†– the equivalent of putting an item in your online shopping cart and leaving it there.
That means the taxpayer cost per “enrollee†is over $14,000.
($4.5 billion + $677 million = $5,177,000,000 ÷ 364,682 = $14,196)
