While comparing ACA policies to my non ACA policy, $17,479 vs $11,232
(just had an increase)
Someone mentioned that a family policy in Charlotte NC was $800 a
month, it turned out that was a company policy.
But I compared an ACA policy in Merklenburg NC. to Bay County Fl.
I used a family of 4 with a $68,000 Modified Adjusted Gross income
(MAGI) Probable income was $100,000 plus.
The first shocking item The Merklenburg Co. family gets a $33,072
subsidy.
The Bay Co. family gets $15,192. That's less than 1/2 as much.

I thought I did something wrong, so I did it again.
Same answer.

So I proceeded to policies.
First Merklenburg policy is $0/mo to the holder, but $2,704 per month
to the taxpayers. $32,448 a year, that's the cheapest plan.
Second policy is $0/mo to the holder but $2,735 per month to the
taxpayers. $32,820 a year.
Third policy is $35/mo to the holder and $2,791 to the taxpayers.
$33,492 a year.

I recall you tell me I didn't know how to shop when I was paying
$8,800 a year.


First Bay Co. policy is $148/mo to the holder, but $1,414 per month to
the taxpayers. The cheapest plan.
Second policy is $180/mo to the holder but $1,446 per month to the
taxpayers.
Third policy is $190/mo to the holder and $1,456 to the taxpayers.
Bay county is almost 1/2 the cost of Merklenburg.
I don't know if there is something special about Merklenburg, it was
the first zipcode when I searched
Charlotte NC. zipcodes.
Huge difference.

Here's the link to compare policies, it's a little difficult to find.

I used 32405 and 28105 as zipcodes in case you want to check my work.

Anyone up for giving a family that makes $100,000 a year a welfare
payment?

There is something seriously wrong with that. *Affordable* Care Act.
Affordable for which generation?
