DAMN IT OBAMA!! Millions paying less than $100 per month for Obamacare

The U.S. government is covering three-quarters of the per-person cost via income-based tax credits

A major question about Obamacare was how pricing would shake out for consumers. Would it end up being ruinously expensive, or relatively light on the wallet?

Now the numbers are coming in, and it appears that for many Americans the health-insurance plans bought under the new government program are fairly affordable. Almost seven out of 10 people who bought plans through federally run marketplaces and who receive tax credits are paying monthly premiums of less than $100, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said on Wednesday. The study doesn't include data from the 14 states that operate their own insurance marketplaces.

OP NOTE: As a navigator last year, I can assure you that the people who never had insurance are grateful to no end for this program. Where's the other States...I'm looking right at you, Texas, and the other 19 States who will not step up for their citizens. You should be ashamed. At the current cost of this program, ONE INCIDENT of an uninsured to the E.R. costs more than 26 times of those who have insurance. The good news is that the younger kids are smart enough to see that they need to be insured too.
