I know a family who makes 8.50 an hour, only one income with 4 kids. The kids are covered but not the parents.

Hi Merlot,
I'm wondering how that's possible?
My spouse works for a corporation that has a group insurance program, and dependents are added to the policy only if she signs up for it. You mean to say parents can get their kids covered without the parent/s being covered?
If she's below the poverty level, she's supposed to enroll in Medicaid, not the exchanges. Also, for anyone reading, the link is to the notoriously untrustworthy Breitbart.com.
Also, um, why would a mother with two children not want health insurance?
Would that be the same notoriously untrustworthy Breitbart that took down ACORN, et al?

Breitbart had nothing to do with the spurious charges against ACORN, which were eventually proven to have been nothing more than fabrications and creative editing by Mr. O'Keefe.

Anyone between 100%-400% of the poverty level will receive a tax credit. That means ~$46,000 for a single person, or ~$94,000 for a family of four. If a person/family choices to buy their coverage through the exchange, then our gov't can send the credit directly to the insurance company to avoid the upfront costs. The goal is to keep insurance between 3-4% of income, as opposed to bankrupting the country when the Baby Boomers retire.
Definition of Tax Credit -
When you file your taxes, you can take a credit of $xxxx.xx. Till then the money you can barely afford to live on, must now pay for your health insurance.
If you get on the exchange, the cost not covered STILL comes out of your pocket.. I

We could have had something better, and the Democrats did, but you neo-Confederates had to throw a wrench in the whole plan, so don't complain
A single mother of two said [on the official Obamacare Facebook page] she is in school and working full-time while living "75% below the poverty level." She said she was shocked to learn she did not qualify for a healthcare subsidy. "Are you F'ing kidding me????" she wrote on the government's Obamacare Facebook page. "Where the HELL am I supposed to get $3,000 more a year to pay for this 'bronze' health insurance plan!?!??? And I DO NOT EVEN WANT INSURANCE to begin with!! This is frightening," she wrote.

I'm taking this to mean she's in school and paying for school, and after paying for school she is living below the poverty line, i.e. her income is above the poverty line yet due to school expenses her standard of living is below the poverty line.
These are supposedly quotes taken verbatim and cherrypicked from comments posted on the Obamacare FB page.
Also I presume her kids are covered by SCHIP.
