Republicans Discover Reality Doesn't Conform To Their Worldview: Obamacare Edition

News item from The Hill (h/t Daily Kos):
"Republicans struggled to land punches against ObamaCare in a hearing Wednesday as responses from insurance companies deflated several lines of questioning 
Democratic lawmakers were emboldened to defend the Affordable Care Act with renewed vigor and levity, creating a dynamic rarely seen in the debate over ObamaCare. [snip]  
But Republicans were visibly exasperated as insurers failed to confirm certain assumptions about ObamaCare, such as the committee's allegation that one-third of federal exchange enrollees have not paid their first premium.  
Four out of five companies represented said more than 80 percent of their new customers had paid. The fifth, Cigna, did not offer an estimate." (emphasis added)
Nothing left to add but…bwahahaha.  Next up, the Benghazi! follies.
