but too little to get Obamacare subsidies
That makes no sense; you can't make "too little" to be subsidized. People making just over the MediCal threshold pay as little as $5/mo in CA, with the other $350-580 being subsidized (they aren't even limited to Bronze policies!).
- lambda 9y agoThat's in CA, which has expanded Medicaid to cover the gap. In states which haven't, you can make too much to qualify for Medicaid, but too little to qualify for Obamacare subsidies: http://money.cnn.com/2014/04/21/news/economy/obamacare-medicaid-coverage-gap-texas/index.html http://money.cnn.com/2014/04/21/news/economy/obamacare-medic... This happened because the Supreme Court ruled that states couldn't be compelled to expand Medicaid to cover the gap, which the original legislation had depended on to make the plan work. So states which did not expand Medicaid have an income range in which you can't get Medicaid or Obamacare subsidies.
