Poll: Will you need/use an ACA subsidy for health insurance?

[iac1003]

When I researched it last year for BlueCross, the policies from the exchange were exactly the same as those bought right from BCBS...after purchase, one can not be distinguished from the other.

This isn't true in my area of Texas where when looking up doctors on my current insurer. AETNA, they tell you who does not take the AETNA exchange plans.

I am trying to stick it out w*rking full time til 63.5 (5 months!), go on COBRA for 18 months and hop onto Medicare.

And no, I wouldn't manipulate my income to qualify for an ACA subside.

Can you just imagine the number of people that will pile into States with State run exchanges by simply moving a few miles if SCOTUS rules against federal subsidies?

This alone is reason that it won't happen.

Heh. Tough problem to have, eh? Hearken back to days of old, in ancient aeons of 2007-2008, where this board had threads like:

In which members would discuss what they could get in another state, IF they could get coverage, strategies for moving to another state to get coverage, and other such arcana. We don't see those threads any more...

We have been using a healthcare subsidy for 20 odd years (employer provided insurance) so I do not have any reason to refuse a subsidy from ACA when we ER.
