Reply #89: 300% of the poverty level is only a little more than $32,000 for a single person

and I don't believe any adjustments are made for where you live or what other obligations you have. And, if the trigger would kick in at 13%, that means a 12% premium would be acceptable and a 12% premium on $32,000 comes to $322.50/month.

In addition, the bills being kicked around allow for some big deductibles. HR3200 thinks a person can afford an additional $5,000 in "cost-sharing" (good luck if you have a chronic condition) plus anything that isn't covered, like vision and dental for adults.
