Then again they turned around and told her oops, you don't qualify for a subsidy at all.
Then apparently the state issued one final correction, arriving at the approx. $300/mo. plan. She still decided she can't afford that, so she is not going to be covered and will pay the $95 fine.

And there may be other shoes to drop re her son's coverage. An insurance broker quoted in the original article says that her son should have not qualified for it, but for "some reason" the state site is allowing unqualified children to be enrolled. And that the state site does not explain certain drastic tax consequences of enrollment (EITC?)
If this saga is now considered as an Obamacare success story...no comment really needed.
