Study: At Least 2 Million Texans Qualify for Tax Credit
http://www.texastribune.org/2013/11/05/study-2-million-plus-texans-would-qualify-healthca/More than 2 million Texans are eligible for tax credits to purchase health coverage in the federal insurance marketplace, according to a new report released Tuesday by the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation.
Texas is one of 26 states that chose not to establish a state-run health insurance marketplace under the Affordable Care Act, and to instead rely on a federal one. Texas now has more people eligible for federal premium tax credits next year than any other state, according to the report. The credits are available to those with incomes between 100 and 400 percent of the federal poverty line who meet some other criteria.
