Subject: Perspective on ACA Subsidies
Some perspective on ACA Subsidies. These are for 2026, without the enhanced subsidies.

These are estimates for my family of 5. Try it for yourself.

2026 MAGI $150k $111k $75k $55k
Subsidy: $1,409 $1,920 $2,334 $2,471
Your Cost: $1,063 $552 $138 $0
% of MAGI: 8.50% 6.02% 2.20% 0.01%


Over $150,600 there is no subsidy.

If I could keep my income to $55k I would get free health insurance for my family, and basically pay no income tax into the bargain.
The poster Intercst has shown for years how this can be managed.
