Post #381,936 by boxley 10/10/13 8:20:12 AM Reply	60k a year $6,834 subsidy do you have a link? seems to be a lot of anecdotal quotes that people making $8.25 do not qualify for a subsidy but a couple making $60k do?

The only things that seem to matter are: 1) Age 2) State of residence 3) Smoker? y/n 4) Employer provided insurance available? y/n 5) Kids 6) Income 7) Is your state part of the Medicare expansion? y/n 8) What Metal do you want? That's it. http://kff.org/inter...bsidy-calculator/ I don't know if those numbers are accurate (I assume they are as the content of the law has been known a long time). If not, Healthcare.gov should have them (once the site is over its teething problems). HTH. Cheers, Scott.

But the above is what it gave me starting fresh. The subsidy does drop for younger people. HTH. Cheers, Scott.

Post #381,969 by Another Scott 10/10/13 1:12:11 PM Reply	A subsidy that depends on the state policies. http://www.nytimes.c...remiums.html?_r=0 Why does the subsidy vary? Because the private insurance rates vary. The actual out-of-pocket costs are surprisingly uniform. Those are for states with exchanges. For those that don't, the feds will be running an exchange. I don't know the details there yet. (Maybe you do. ;-) HTH. Cheers, Scott.
