Peter Suderman has tracked down the father of Chad Henderson, the media's poster boy for Obamacare. Here's what he discovered:

Chad Henderson is the media’s poster boy for Obamacare. Reporters struggled this week to find individuals who said they had been able to enroll in one of the law’s 36 federally run health-insurance exchanges.

That changed yesterday, when they found Henderson, a 21-year-old student and part-time child-care worker who lives in Georgia and says that he successfully enrolled himself and his father Bill in insurance plans via the online exchange administered at healthcare.gov.

But in an exclusive phone interview this morning with Reason, Chad father's Bill contradicted virtually every major detail of the story the media can't get enough of. What's more, some of the details that Chad has released are also at odds with published rate schedules and how Obamacare officials say the enrollment system works.

Their story fell apart under scrutiny the first go-round too, IIRC.

...So Chad claims he has "chosen" a plan, but has not purchased a plan. And he now says that his father "hasn't chosen his yet."
