we are under the amount we needed to make to qualify for subsidies. If you do not make enough to qualify for subsidies then you get bounced over to Medicaid...which will not work for us..unfortunately. It is an accounting issue and more of a State issue,
It IS a state issue. You live in AZ which, supposedly is not participating in Medicaid expansion. Although, as said above. Jan Brewer did expand Medicaid to cover another 350,000 people.
If AZ would expand Medicaid under the ACA, you wouldn't have this issue.

Light bulb moment....I got it..I think BUU mentioned this issue in a different thread.
If I right this gap was not in the original form of Obamacare but only came about after the Supreme Court ruling on Medicaid's expansion and to date there has been no fix for people whose incomes are within a similar window (such as MotleyCrew).

What I said....a state issue. YOu are right, many more will be covered under Medicaid now and AZ did expand Medicaid..

Yup. It is purely a political issue at this point, until ACA is amended to repair the damage caused by the the Supreme Court ruling and these recalcitrant states.
In other words, you can't afford to be a low-income person in a GOP controlled state because you can very easily be excluded from both the ACA and Medicaid.

I'm retired from Ky. DOT and my wife is retired from federal government job. She pays $100/month on hers and I don't pay anything on mine. Now with mine, I'm going by the new prices that will start Jan. 1. My deductible is $500. But, if I still had my son on mine, parent plus would be $227.98, and, if my wife dropped hers and went on mine, couple coverage would be $512.98. My insurance is through Humana and hers is BC/BS.
$1300 a month for the two of us, $7,000 deductible per person and it is the ONLY policy we can get. Hoping that either a high-deductible plan becomes much cheaper under the exchanges or that a similarly high premium policy under the exchanges actually cover something, because we generally end up paying around $5,000 a year out of pocket on top of those premiums.
Watching my mailbox with real interest in October.....
It is obvious from the poll that health insurance is actually quite cheap in the U.S. as it seems that most of us pay more for cable TV than for basic health insurance.
$993.00 per month. I have a $3,000.00 deductible, too.
Just received the renewal. Out of 8 options that used to be available,
only two are left because of Obmu care.

Really, your state only has 2 plans available....don't believe you....since there are 5 levels of plans you can pick from so they would need to have at least 5 plans...
We will stick with our current policy and just got the rates for 2014. Our $600 dollar a month plan just went up to $1,100 a month. Not as bad as we had first feared but it will put a crimp in our disposable income lol.
