Fourteen of those SBMs use their own Internet portals, while the other three use healthcare.gov. The reason that I am such a pest on this point is that the King challengers have encouraged conflation of the Exchanges with the Imternet portals in order to buttress their claim that the Exchanges are primarily e-commerce sites, and only secondarily conduits for tax credits and CSR subsidies.

At $17,235 of annual income, for a single person, the CSR/Silver combo is more or less Medicaid.<br />At $22,980 of income, the combo is about the same as most employer plans in about 1990 --a $250 deductible.<br /><br />As you note, that is an awfully thin segment of beneficiaries in most states. The ACA was sold as something far more generous to the middle class.bob.hertzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09686373408419885558noreply@blogger.com
