What every news story overlooks, probably because they don't know, is that subsidies only kick in if your health premium is more than 9.5% of your annual adjusted gross income. Perhaps BCBS-La doesn't know it either?

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — "Louisiana's largest private health insurer, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana, estimated Wednesday that two-thirds of its customers who buy their own policies will pay the same premiums or less under the federal health care overhaul.

But that's only if people take advantage of federal subsidies being offered under the law, Blue Cross officials said, outlining the anticipated effects of the Affordable Care Act."

Sounds like a pitch from the Obama playbook.

I think Governor Jindal is in the Republican camp that believes ObamaCare should be implemented fully, in order to prove how financially troublesome it will be for the majority of Americans, and the economy in general.
