Yea, that's what I said.

I don't think you understood my incredulity. Exactly how cheap does something have to be to qualify as "affordable" to you?

That $325 a month is including subsidies and everything to which you would be entitled? I'm not going to inquire about your income, but I put in my details, where I live in Maryland, and I got the following results (for the second least expensive silver plan) for the given incomes, for a single person:

$20,000/yr - $84.21/mo
$30,000/yr - $208.96/mo
$40,000/yr - $237.73/mo
$50,000/yr - $237.73/mo

Let's try the same with North Carolina (via Health Sherpa). I put down one person, no spouse, no dependents:

$20,000/yr - $83/mo
$30,000/yr - $208/mo
$40,000/yr - $321/mo
$50,000/yr - $321/mo

The stated quote of $325 a month seems reasonable for that second least expensive silver plan in North Carolina, though there are certainly high deductible plans that cost less than that. I'm not 100% sure what makes North Carolina almost $100 a month more expensive than Maryland for that level of coverage, but there it is.

Anyway, $325 a month is $75 a week over the course of the year. Not nothing, but if you're making past the threshold for subsidies, also not onerous.
