Feel bad for a few of my friends who can't afford health insurance though and basically can't afford ANY price per month, but likely won't qualify for subsidies or medicare/caid because of assets.

What are those assests that make this happen?  

Essentially not being in COMPLETELY in debt.  They programs ALWAYS end up having asset limitations that are usully very low otherwise they'd be expensive as hell.

Hey if not though sweet... I'd qualify for a subsidy.

I mean... a subsidy for anyone at 400% the poverty line?  

That would mean a single person who makes less then about 45K will get a subsidy... $60,500 for a married couple.

I like the part where my parents make under 45k.

I don't follow.... either way the Median Household income is 51K.   So I'm not sure what percentage of households would qualify (since the poverty line gets higher the bigger the family) but I wouldn't be surprised if it was half or larger.

Such a huge amount pretty much gurantees strict asset requirements that will make sure the vast majority of those people never qualify.   Asset caps can be as brutal as owning a car being enough to deny you.
