Instead of reading bullshit I decided to check the website myself. I went to Healthcare.gov, put in a Austin Texas zip code, put in $20K for expected income. That qualifies for $299 a month subsidy which virtually covers a health plan. It would still cost you about $200 a month out of pocket for a good plan (low copays and deductible). Frankly, that's pretty reasonable. You could even pay $2.63 a month for a plan that has a high deductible ($5000) but low copays. Or $80 month for something better but cheaper than the superior $200 a month plan, etc. Hence, if you're relatively poor the government is already catering to you in some form. |
I said the poorest out there. You don't have any idea what the 'poorest' means if you think an individual with a 20k expected income is poor.
Go try the same thing and put 10k expected income instead. Or do 20k with 4 dependents.
