(23,852 posts)And I see this are California plans, too. I've been "discussing" the Alabama plans with a couple of Alabama cousins on Facebook, and they posted their numbers from a Kaiser tool linked in the NYT. It seems they weren't posting everything.... How about that?
One of them (I'll call her Paula) said her income was 80% of the Federal poverty line and her payments after the subsidy was really high. But she should be eligible for Medicaid with that number. However, Paula was clearly quoting the family out of pocket expense (around $12,000) instead of the individual number. So if she's figuring with a family involved, her husband's income is probably knocking them up into that range of monthly payments. But Paula was only telling us what her individual salary was.
So sad when you have to lie and misrepresent to slam something like this...
