One of the biggest players in Obamacare's exchanges says 15 to 20 percent of its new customers aren't paying their first premium—which means they're not actually covered.

The latest data come from the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, whose members—known collectively as "Blues" plans—are participating in the exchanges in almost every state. Roughly 80 to 85 percent of people who selected a Blues plan through the exchanges went on to pay their first month's premium, a BCBSA spokeswoman said Wednesday.

The new statistics, particularly from such a large carrier, help define how many people are actually getting covered under the Affordable Care Act.

At the time of Obama's conception, did God know that he would one day "wreck the church"?

If you buy direct through the insurance company does it show up in the numbers ? I originally signed up with BCBS but I never received a bill or any paperwork. I ended up buying Humana, they had a representative who went over everything on the phone with me, made it much easier when you can ask a question directly and not have to search their website.

If you got to your insurance company through the Obamacare marketplace, then yes, it shows. If not, then no.

By Obamacare marketplace does that mean an ACA compliant plan?
