The Affordable Care Act, signed in to law by President Barack Obama, has been a prominent news story in recent days as the October 1, 2013 open enrollment dates nears.
When you look at the math behind who will receive a tax credit in 2014, one of the figures commonly referred to is the federal poverty level. Individuals that fall between 100 and 400 percent of the federal poverty level will receive a subsidy to assist in the purchase of health insurance.
To calculate the federal poverty level percentage, an individual must divide their total income by the poverty guidelines based on household size. Federal poverty level guidelines for 2013 can be found on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services website.

看完上面的视频,对过去有保险者,似乎没有多大的影响。也转发一部分我们的HR发的通知内容。告诉我们多了一种比较价格(monthly premium)的选择。因为可以选择其它在市场竞争的医保公司(new health insurance marketplace),可能得到比雇主提供的医保更低的月保费(monthly premium)。请根据自己的情况仔细比较每项coverage而做变换的决定。我支持过去无保险者能买得起保险或得到相应的Medicaid的帮助之改革,但不愿意自己明年的保费大幅度上升,让我们拭目以待。
