Stories Causing Atlas to Shrug, January 31st Edition

A proposed law in Pennsylvania would require some Medicaid beneficiaries to work 20 hours per week or be actively looking for work.  It would be the first such law to tie work to taxpayer funded healthcare but probably will be held to be illegal.  

Ready for open enrollment?  Watch this video as employees in a Pennsylvania company learn of increased health costs due to Obamacare.

44% of Americans are living with less than $5,887 in savings for a family of four. 

WellPoint (Blue Cross) expects to lose a ton of money on ObamaCare compliant plans this year. PPACA bailouts will be the only thing keeping them afloat.
