as extremely heavily subsidized insurance policies (essentially free) do help the poor. That's just the way it is. So, my hubby's friend now gets a silver-level plan for $32/month (he is age 63), BUT due to his low income, in addition to low premiums and SUPPORTS, he pays an annual deductible equal to only $100 (website says $1000) with $.0 copay (website says $20), almost all medications are covered 100% and an annual maximum out-of-pocket of $500. The plan called "silver" with its combination of premium subsidies and other supports will cover nearly 97% of all of his medical costs.
