[lovuian]

two key statistics from the week-seven update issued by CMS suggest that Obamacare may be a lot healthier heading into 2016 than some pundits have recently opined.

1. HealthCare.gov's enrollment data is crushing last year's figures thus farHealth

2. Plan selections for younger adults have soared

3. Penalty going up to $ 695

That's too big for young people to ignore. Last year was just $ 325.

5. $695 or 2.5% of AGI, whichever is higher

Someone making 30K$ AGI pays a penalty $750

If makes 50K$, penalty is $1250

and so on.

4. Crap. That means my company plan will be going up again

They raised our annual max from $500/yr to $8300/yr in 2014, then to $12,000/yr this year. Pretty soon I won't be able to afford to work there. And I didn't even get a Christmas card from PHARMA for keeping their profits at record levels.

Thanks Obama!
