Or perhaps you could think about this. That is an estimation, and the actual results will vary. The poster makes too little to qualify for the subsidy, and the state does not offer expanded medicare. However, they are exempted from the penalty. That BTW is not taken into account at the KFF site. So just tossing the KFF numbers at people when we KNOW, not believe, KNOW that they are not accurate in many circumstances is both insulting, and insensitive. People are posting the actual numbers they are getting from Healthcare.gov and all you wannabe experts are rushing to KFF and shouting that it can't be right because KFF says it isn't. Why can't we just admit that the law works well for MOST, but many, like the OP, are going to be the few that get screwed?
Until we are able to honestly discuss the issue, we are never going to get an accurate read. How many times have you run to the KFF site to check the claims of someone who said they are getting a good deal on the healthcare.gov website? I'll hazard a guess that the answer is NONE.
But every time someone posts their actual numbers from healthcare, and they are not favorable, then wham the internet is flooded with all of you rushing to KFF to prove them wrong, when the proof is an estimate based on information that is general.
