The Good: Health Care Premiums Will Drop or Stay Same Under Obamacare – The Bad: If You Make Less Than $20K Per Year…

Weasel Zippers  "Apparently the only way to benefit from Obamacare is to live near the poverty line."
Via National Journal:
Whether the quality of care in the new market is comparable to private offerings remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: The cost of care in the new market doesn’t stack up. A single wage earner must make less than $20,000 to see his or her current premiums drop or stay the same under Obamacare, an independent review by National Journal found. That’s equivalent to approximately 34 percent of all single workers in the U.S. seeing any benefit in the new system. For those seeking family-of-four coverage under the ACA, about 43 percent will see cost savings. Families must earn less than or equal to $62,300, or they, too, will be looking at a bigger bill.
