After having unexpected results when going through the application on healthcare.gov, I decided to make an appointment with the insurance agent I met at a (BCBSNC sponsored) PPACA presentation. In the couple of minutes we were on the phone, I mentioned that I can adjust my MAGI as needed, but figured around 200% FPL would be good, which would allow me a little Roth conversion on top of the few weeks of W-2 I got before quitting. He said we can talk more about it, but I might consider dropping lower and going the Medicaid route, which I never considered, because it seems no one here is considering it, hehe.
