When the insurance plan is called Obamacare you might have an idea from whom this is sent.

This has been said many ways....but never from an insurance company. Take heed.

Look clearly at the 2014 rate compared to the 2013 rate.

For those of you who are on Medicare, read the following. It's short, but
important and you probably haven't heard about it in the mainstream news:

"The per person Medicare insurance premium will increase from the present
monthly fee of $96.40, rising to:

$104.20 in 2012
$120.20 in 2013
and
$247.00 in 2014."

These are provisions incorporated in the Obamacare legislation, purposely
delayed so as not to confuse the 2012 re-election campaigns. Send this to
all seniors that you know, so they will know who's throwing them under the
bus.
