Yeah, wait till you see how much it costs POOR PEOPLE!
Went to Healthcare.gov, followed their link for the calculator and it brought me here:
Subsidy Calculator | The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation
Unless you live in certain states, your costs can be outrageous.
I live in Arkansas, make 28k and am 56. My wife is 52 and we have a teenage daughter.
How much is my out of pocket cost calculated to be?
$14,009.00
BTW, the "subsidy" they tell you about? According to the page it says over 12k ....
Reduce the income to 18k with everything else being the same, and there is no subsidy listed --- is actually only a "tax credit.
What is a tax credit? You get a pass on paying income tax on that income.
It doesn't reduce any of the other taxes you pay ... FICA etc. will remain the same or increase.
What it works out to is I net $22k after taxes, less 14k for 0-blame-0 care ... and I and my wife and daughter get to live on 8k. Out of that I need to pay a mortgage, lights, fuel, auto and home insurance (also mandated).
Good thing none of us eat, because those items come to more than 8k.
Screw 0-care because HE DON'T CARE!!!! He's just a power hungry F******!
