Keeping in line with our “independence” theme this week, Forbes.com posted a great article on how the recent decision by the Supreme Court to uphold the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is improving many folk’s financial ability to retire.

And just how is it doing that, you ask?  Well, there’s a number of ways.  Basically, all of these things that the ACA is doing for folks – discounts for folks with Medicare who hit the donut hole, the pre-existing condition insurance plan (called the NY Bridge plan), tax-credits, etc – amounts to more money in your pockets.  More money in your pockets means more money that you can put towards other things – like retirement.

It’s pretty interesting stuff! You can check out the full article by clicking here.
