Not the same pp but I tried to go through Obamacare and I didn’t qualify. My annual income was $72,000 (share) at that time. I ended up going with BCBS and I pay $358.72 for an individual plan.

Not a troll. She posted this issue on another thread.
Did she find a better job with a family who allows her to eat dinner when she works overnight? I doubt it.
Huh? I can’t imagine any family that wouldn’t leave food or money to order food for the nanny and kids when working overnight.

Have your EIN available and prepare to complete about 6 pages of paperwork (easy stuff like name address, EIN, SSN, etc).
Review the plans, deductibles, etc.
We selected 3 plans and then allowed her to choose one.
We pay 50% of the monthly premium. She pays 50% as a payroll deduction.
We pay the insurer directly, on her behalf.
Check with your CPA / attorney, but the contribution is generally non-taxable and may also qualify as a tax deduction. We added this healthcare payment benefit to her employment agreement.
This is what we did. The options ended up being very similar prices to individual plans through Obamacare but with way lower deductibles and more generous benefits.

I got $350/month during my last position, and covered the rest myself (less than $100).

I also got mine through the state exchange (MD). Once you fill out the application, it will tell you whether you qualify for any subsidies. Someone mentioned they didn't qualify and I think that can happen if you you earn a low yearly rate, in which case it will tell you that you must apply for Medicaid. The amounts may vary by state though.

Everyone qualifies for Obamacare - meaning anyone can buy healthcare insurance during enrollment. You mean you don’t qualify for a subsidy - neither does our nanny. She has Blue Cross with Aetna.

Decide how much you’re willing to contribute and let nanny choose her own plan, mine is over $500 and I would LOVE contribution from my employers!

Any experience getting health insurance for a nanny? Please share options/ideas on how to go about it if one can not get it done through a family plan. Thanks
