My Obamacare runs $900 per month with a $6000 deductible.
I get no subsidy as I earn over $46,000 per year in my state.

I preferred what I had before Obamacare.  My blue cross was $250 per month with a $1500 deductible.  My blue cross that I had before Obamacare covered a lot more.[/quote]

People earning up to $51,520 were eligible for premium subsidies for 2021. Also, ARPA ramps that even higher for 2022, providing premium subsidies for singles earning up to $76,560, and broadly caps one's premiums at 8.5% of their annual income.

It seems like you're either missing out on some assistance you're eligible for, or you're not telling us the whole story. Can you please elaborate?[/quote]

Yes the $46,000 for one was the 2020 or 2019 figure.  I see that it is now up to $51,520 to get a subsidy for one.  I don't qualify for the subsidy as
I am single and earned over the $51,000 threshold.     I'm not sure what ARPA is but I have my taxes prepared by a CPA.
Essentially if you hustle and you work you end up paying for those that don't contribute to society.

I believe that this is the reason that Hillary lost to Trump.  Many working people were paying reasonable insurance rates and then under Obamacare (mandated by law) their premiums increased four fold with less coverage.[/quote]

You are single and have your taxes done by a CPA? Either you make dumb decisions and waste money OR you make WAYYYY more than 51k OR even more likely you "hustle" and own your business but use the CPA to find every write off possible while making lots of money but only making X on paper because hustling is the hustle.[/quote]
