Quote:You don't qualify for subsidies at $15/hr.? Forgive me for asking and ignore if you want to, but does your wife also work? Unless the poverty line in WA is $3.75/hr., $15/hr. is well within subsidy limits.

 

That whole situation stinks to me. Is it the Exchange that can "make your plan compliant" for $50/month, or the insurance provider? If it's the latter, I'd open a complaint with the Exchange, complete with documentation stating that the exact same coverage can be "made" ACA-compliant for $50 additional per month. That sounds like a scam to me, the sort of scam that ACA compliance agencies love to hear about.
