Tuesday

Is the increase they are quoting what the government would have paid?

So in other words, the first couple cited used to pay $602 a month.

Without the subsidy, they will now have to pay $2,754.

Subtract the $602, and that leaves $2154. Was the government paying $2154 per month so they could have insurance?

I've had no experience with the ACA, so I know nothing about the subsidies.
