Right. If you make less than 133% of FPL and your state doesn't expand Medicaid, you get nothing. *facepalm*
Expect this to be a major issue in every governor election in the next few years.
I certainly hope so! I found out this morning the cheapest bronze plan I can get is from the MT Health Cooperative for $169 per month. It works out to being a $2.07 cut from every $9.21 I get per hour, gross, in wages. It's especially upsetting to me because I will still have to shoulder a 40% copay and would have the premium cut by a whopping 82% by government subsidies if I were to make just $2,500 more each year. If I can stop being underemployed soon it won't be a serious problem but otherwise this will deal a pretty fierce blow to my disposable income.
