Subject: Re: Obamacare expanded subsidies expiration
<< The original subsidies were quite generous as long as you didn't hit the subsidy cliff by going over 400% of federal poverty level.>>
But not in the states that refused to do the Obamacare Medicaid expansion. Your subsidy disappears at 138% of FPL. That's why the premiums are doubling (or more) for low income people in the 12 largely "Republican States".
It's also one of the reasons rural hospitals in Texas are closing -- you'd have an additional $9 billion flowing to the state if they were doing the Obamacare expansion.
