Curiosity got the best of me. Went to Indianas Marketplace site and priced a health insurance policy for a household of 2, income range 151-200% of poverty level, covering ONE non-smoker, age 60. Bronze level with $3500 deductible is $634/month. That totals $11k+ per year. Silver offers a premium of $723/mo with $250 deductible... totals Only $8926 per year. In any case, these affordable rates would consume anywhere between 32.5-40% of our income. We are not eligible for subsidies since his employer offers a plan that weve opted out of due to its poor coverage compared to costs. It is one that would have been eliminated except for the waiving of the employers ACA compliance mandate. Something just might have gone wrong in this wonderful plan. We will pay the Daring To Work and Take Responsibility For Ourselves tax or the Being Alive In The United States penalty instead.
