Editors at Investor’s Business Daily see some good news for those looking to jettison the Affordable Care Act.

The latest official count shows that 10.3 million are enrolled in the ObamaCare exchanges. That’s down from the 12.2 million who were reported to have selected an ObamaCare plan this year, which means that nearly 2 million people (16%) signed up for coverage and then failed to make a payment on it.

It also means that there are 800,000 fewer ObamaCare enrollees now than there were a year ago. And it means that after the first year, enrollment has effectively flat-lined — each year, around 12 million sign up for a plan, but only about 10 million make the first payment. (See nearby chart.)

The latest enrollment data also shine a much-needed light on just how utterly worthless those projections are about what the GOP plan will do to coverage levels. …

… This huge gap between expectations and reality is important for two reasons.

First, it shows that so-called health care experts are completely incapable of predicting how consumers will respond to government health care mandates and regulations. So the fact that the CBO is now predicting that 23 million will lose coverage under the Republican’s American Health Care Act must be heavily discounted.

Second, it shows that ObamaCare is hardly a “great product,” as Obama kept insisting. If it were, we would at the very least have seen a steady increase in enrollment, not a flat line.
