*--People who make less than 250% of FPL, if they buy insurance on the exchange, get their copays and deductibles subsidized by the government in addition to their premiums.

In some states. Mine does not allow subsidies for people making less than 100% of the FPL.

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.
