Obamacare.........................."where millionaires can get medicaid for free"

Disclosure: Person described above, may get an erection for longer than 4 hrs when he hears the news. Said person must have most of their assets in tax deferred accounts, cash in the bank, equity in their home (or 3 homes), 3 cars, a side business to write off the butler and driver expenses, very little dividend income, a good CPA, and a damn good tax advantaged asset thinking financial advisor.

I read today that HHS will release the "certified/approved" Federally-run and Partnership Exchanges' 2014 premiums on Thursday 9/19/2013. Anyone know more about this?

Maybe, Sebellius said yesterday they will definitely be out by Oct 1st.

Then she said maybe a little earlier

And then added the plans will be affordable

And that kids can stay on until age 26

A FYI post. Zane Benefits has charts/exhibits at this webpage that graphically compare insurance premiums across 12 exchanges.

Real World premium increases for 2014 are starting to be realized and reported by the media. A Motley Fool author is reporting on his and a friend's California's premium increase notice from Blue Shield.

Excerpt: "My current premium is $631.00 per month under my company's group policy, and my 2014 estimated premium is $1,596.00. That's a 152.9% increase!

The official name of Obamacare -- the Affordable Care Act (ACA) -- appears to be a cruel tactic to trick people into thinking they're going to save money on health insurance, much like early Scandinavian pioneers named the country of Greenland as a way to attract more settlers, obscuring the fact that the country is 80% covered by an ice sheet that's 1 mile thick."

This is exactly why I refer to it as Obamacare and not ACA.

We refer to it as " Affordable Care Act, PPACA, Obamacare, healthcare reform or whatever you want to call it!"
