For what it’s worth, currently you can get a mid-tier Obamacare / ACA health insurance plan for no more than 8.5% of your income. It’s a big jump to have a new expense of 8.5% for sure, but we do have that option now.
- mcguire 5y agoDoes that subsidy depend on what state you live in? AFAICT, it doesn't apply here in scenic Alabama.
- qgin 5y agoFrom what I can tell, Alabama has all the regular subsidies for ACA plans. What they don’t have is Medicaid expansion. The federal government offers states money to expand Medicaid to anyone making less than the minimum needed for ACA plans. Some states like Alabama have refused the money and continue to only offer it to specific subgroups of low income people, usually only after they spent 100% of their assets also.
