Stories Causing Atlas to Shrug, Sept 30th Edition - ObamaCare Glitches

Get ready for Glitches: in California, 8 of the 12 insurers are selling commercial insurance to individuals for the first time in the Exchange.

More Glitches: people using Obamacare Exchanges will not know if they are eligible for Medicaid or for subsidies; people will not initially be able to enroll via the Web site; some will not be ready to accept online premium payments until November; and in California, it could take a month for an insurer to receive the application of someone who applies on Oct 1.  
Most folks are likely to be better off not purchasing insurance in the Obamacare Exchanges even if they have to pay the fines for not doing so. Here is a calculator to help you make that economic decision.

Who is benefitting most from big government's intrusion and Obamacare?  Temp agencies.  Staffing firms are seeing their business boom as more and more employers are afraid to hire people under the thumb of the massive federal behemoth.  

1 in 5 of health care pros say Americans 'will die earlier' due to Obamacare.
