Here's my Covered California "Obamacare" rates...THANK YOU OBAMA!!! [View all]

My stats:

2 people
57 and 55 yrs old
$52,000 per year
92024 zip code

That's all they asked to take a look.
And here are some screenshots.
I left out the Platinum level since we aren't interested in that level.

The ACA will allow me to retire April 1st, 2014.
I am very thankful.

That's like $8700 a year the Feds will spend on you. Do you pay that much in federal income tax? dkf Oct 2013 #5

You think the ACA is funded via Federal income tax? SHRED Oct 2013 #8

The subsidy, yes. Where else does it come from? dkf Oct 2013 #23

okay I didn't know... SHRED Oct 2013 #25

That goes towards Medicare, not towards funding the ACA. dkf Oct 2013 #33

Just call him a moucher and be done with it. JoePhilly Oct 2013 #27
