The Obama administration has yet to announce the final tally of full enrollments, which are only confirmed once customers have made their first payment, but Cato Institute health policy expert Michael Cannon warns that not all those who signed up will complete their purchases, potentially leaving the White House with an even lower bottom line.

Even without the full number of enrollments, Obamacare's current net effect is clearly in favor of cancellations. Millions are already seeing Obamacare's adverse effects - largely due to more mandates for more services.

The health-care law requires that all insurance plans cover 10 "essential benefits," eliminating millions of plans that don't fit the bill and boosting costs for consumers that have to purchase coverage for services they may not want or need.

All plans must include maternity coverage, for example - including plans for men and post-menopausal women. Even customers without children must purchase plans that cover pediatric services. Other newly established essential benefits include hospitalization, mental-health services and preventive and wellness services.

While a grandfather clause allowed plans purchased before Obamacare passed in 2010 to continue, HHS estimated that 40-67 percent of plans would eventually lose their status and cost millions of Americans their insurance plans.

The Obama administration eventually admitted Obamacare's role in crushing many Americans' coverage and has scrambled to belatedly make up for it. President Barack Obama first attempted to reinstate the cancelled coverage for just one more year, but many insurers chose not to restart already-cancelled plans.
