No Spin In The Press??

[The Rabbi]

Here's a goody. The headline implies that Obama's claim of 7M enrollees is true. Read down the story and you discover that it is clearly not true. So which is it?

The Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index provides independent validation for White House claims that the law is expanding access, particularly for working people with no coverage on the job. But the improvement, while substantial, doesn't appear as large as some of the numbers claimed by the law's supporters.

Gallup found that the share of adults without health insurance shrank from 17.1 percent at the end of last year to 15.6 percent for the first three months of 2014.

The decline of 1.5 percentage points would translate roughly to more than 3.5 million people gaining coverage. The trend accelerated as the March 31 enrollment deadline loomed.

Yeah, and? The headline implies the White House was correct to note 7M signups. The survey shows it was about half that number.
