1. Amazing.

I actually have good coverage through my part time job (yes, part time, yes good coverage) but if I didn't I'd only be out of pocket $660/year for a bronze plan where I live.

Household income in 2014:
44% of poverty level
Unsubsidized annual health insurance premium in 2014:

3. I don't understand the response I got. It seems to say I can't get subsidies because of WiGOP

My state isn't going to expand Medicaid so, as I read this, I get no subsidy???? And I couldn't pay 1/4 of the annual cost of an $8000 policy

This is a copy of the response I got

If your state does not expand Medicaid:

You will not be eligible for subsidies in the exchanges because your income is below 100% of the federal poverty level.

"The information below is about unsubsidized exchange coverage. Note that depending on your state's eligibility requirements, you may still be eligible for coverage through Medicaid.

Household income in 2014:
20% of poverty level
Unsubsidized annual health insurance premium in 2014:
$8,029
Maximum % of income you have to pay for the non-tobacco premium, if eligible for a subsidy:
None
Amount you pay for the premium:
$8,029 per year
(which equals 356.86% of your household income and covers 100% of the overall premium)
You could receive a government tax credit subsidy of up to:
$0
(which covers 0% of the overall premium)"
