Reports mention that US has got more number of millionaires as compared to Japan but most of the Japanese millionaires are concentrated in its capital city, Tokyo and this is the sole reason for the lagging behind of The New York City.
As an estimate made by WealthInsigth, China is supposed to have about 3.3 million millionaires by 2020 as against Japan with 2.2 million millionaires by the same year. America, however is going to lead the tally with a towering 7.7 million millionaires.

Obama turns to Hollywood celebs to sell Obamacare

 

President of the USA, Barack Obama is turning to Hollywood stars to sell his signature health care laws' insurance exchanges that open on Oct 1 to younger Americans.

Obama Monday extolled the benefits his health care law, nicknamed Obamacare, offers young people, whose participation in the exchanges is seen as essential for their long-term viability, at a meeting with stars at the White House.

The group included Indian-American actor Kal Penn, known for starring in the popular "Harold and Kumar" film series as well as the hit TV show "House" singer Jennifer Hudson and actor Amy Poehler.

The meeting, which was led by Obama's senior adviser Valerie Jarrett, also included representatives for Oprah Winfrey, Alicia Keys, Bon Jovi, YouTube Comedy, Funny or Die and the organizations that put on the annual Grammy and Latin Grammy awards.

Obama underscored that the efforts of these artists will be especially helpful since young uninsured Americans (ages 18-35) are key enrollment targets for the new marketplaces.

Persuading young Americans to enroll on Obamacare's exchanges is considered a key challenge for the law's backers - without enough healthy people enrolled, premium costs for those who do participate will rise.

The White House has said that 2.7 million young and healthy adults must enroll on the exchanges in order for premium costs to remain low for older Americans who take advantage of the new system.
