6. This is the GOOD NEWS! "Obamacare premiums in Calif. lower than predicted"

Many lower-income Californians qualify for federal subsidies

States are slowly unveiling details of their plans, but California is the largest by far to release its rates. Some 5.3 million Californians may be eligible for coverage through the exchange, with more than 2.6 million of them qualifying for subsidies.

Oregon and Washington recently posted their rates, as well. They were also lower than some had expected.

"Many people will see rates similar to what they're paying now, or in some cases, lower -- and with substantially better benefits," the Washington Insurance Department wrote in a blog post. "We're definitely not seeing the huge rate increases that some insurers had predicted."

I posted that this was in the Barack Obama Group and that means it's only for supporters of Pres Obama

This Group is for us. BOG
