Uh oh, and another problem for Obamacare just came out tonight - turns out all those subsidies people have been counting on to reduce their costs don't go directly to them, but instead to their insurance companies to be applied against their premiums - there will be no big flood of government checks into the eager hands of the public...

Well, they are telling all the secrets now, eh?

But wait, there is more! FTA:

Young and fit people like Zanardelli, 31, and Foster, 28, have to buy into the system to support the law's mandate that all people must have health insurance next year. ..... < snip >

..... What insurance companies will save on medical costs for the healthier population will help pay for the older, sicker people who are entering into the insurance market for the first time. ..... < snip >

From New health insurance exchanges want young, healthy people - LAT, by Chad Terhune, 2013 October 01

< snip > ..... However, the program's long-term success will largely depend not on those who need healthcare the most, but on those who need it the least: young people.
The math of President Obama's Affordable Care Act works only if millions of healthy consumers start paying into the system to offset the bills racked up by sicker people who can't be turned away.
Persuading twentysomethings won't be easy. Max Halpern, a 25-year-old San Diego law student, is healthy and doesn't spend much time worrying about his next doctor's appointment. ..... < snip >
..... The stakes are high. Nationwide, the Obama administration estimates it needs about 40% of the 7 million people expected to enroll the first year to be young and healthy to help mitigate the costs of the chronically ill. ..... < snip >

..... "If healthy people don't enroll, insurers will start to increase premiums," said Christine Eibner, a healthcare economist at Rand Corp., a Santa Monica think tank. "It could create a death spiral where only sick people want to sign up." ..... < snip >

And there you have it. Media can no longer keep the "secret sauce" of Obamacare financing calculations.

The mask is off, and what do we see as the real face of Obamacare? Why, it's the good old pyramid / Ponzi scheme. It needs more and more young and healthy to pay for the increasing number of older population (the other end of the scheme would have to be increased rationing of medical care and lower capitation).

The wizard behind ObamaCare turns out to be none other than ObaMadoff!
