[QUOTE="katautumn, post: 64348419, member: 376714"] I've spoken to a few people who can't. They're in the upper working class limbo. Here's an example. One of my friends works for a company that provides insurance, but because it's a smaller company the insurance premium is about $700/month for a family plan with a $9,000 deductible and no dental coverage. He makes around $16/hour, so $700/month is just not an amount he can afford to hand over every month. So up until this point, he has simply opted out of coverage when open enrollment came around and prayed for the best. It's not a fun position to be in, but it's one many in the working class find themselves in, even when their employer offers an insurance package. Because his employer at least offers insurance coverage, he doesn't qualify for the subsidies. He has looked at the exchanges, but hasn't found anything that comes out better than what his employer already offers. [/QUOTE]
