But what if this family earns $115,000 instead of $97,000? Are they out of luck, and stuck with unaffordable health insurance? Not necessarily: healthinsurance.org/faqs/with-my-i… They should consult a tax adviser AS THEY MAY STILL BE ABLE TO GET $0 PREMIUMS
Yes, the Senate just passed a tax bill that eliminates the individual mandate. But living in America without health insurance is foolish, regardless of whether the government fines you for doing so. And premium subsidies are still available, making coverage affordable.
People in Wyoming seem to understand that coverage is more affordable than it was last year, and that insurance is a must-have, as enrollment in the first 25 days was up more than 52% over last year: healthinsurance.org/wyoming-state-…
But open enrollment ends December 15. You might find that coverage is much more affordable than it was in the past, but you've only got 12 days left to pick a plan.
