New data released by one of the nation's largest insurers says 15 to 20 percent of customers signed up under Obamacare aren't paying their first premium, which means they're not actually covered.

According to the National Journal, the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association says roughly 80 to 85 percent of its new enrollees have paid their premium.

Those figures are in line with estimates from other insurance executives.
    
So while the Obama administration says it has exceeded its 7 million enrollment benchmark, the insurers' numbers mean roughly 6 million people are actually covered.
