Is this Sherpa calculator for Obamacare accurate??? [View all]

Is this Sherpa calculator for Obamacare accurate???

I plugged in for a family of 4: 10,000 40,000 50,000 and 100,000 and it says every time that "you make too much to qualify for ACH and the price they quote is around 7,000 annually for different companies for the cost.

This is nothing like the Keiser foundation's calculator nor what I have heard on this site. The premiums are way high compared to Keiser.

I then did a Google search and found nothing bad about them and Daily Kos saying they were great.

I am confused.
