Sure, but you have to take into consideration why that family cannot get insurance through the head of household’s employer, and how much traditional private insurance would cost.

EDIT: you know what’s funny about that calculator you posted, there is a part which tells you if you could potentially pay less for a less comprehensive plan. But I guess you didn’t see that.

And I guess you also missed where it says, “In general, full-time employees with employer coverage available that meets specified requirements are not eligible for premium subsidies, unless the employee would have to pay more than 10% of income for the employer-provided coverage. ”

So for your scenario the person would have to be making 63K per year WITHOUT getting insurance offered to them by their employer.

Of course, anyone who is in the know can see that.

30 years of Republican economic policies have hurt the middle class. The middle class really needs a single payer system. That would make health care cheaper for everyone and improve our nation’s health. It would make it MUCH easier to start a business, since you wouldn’t have to worry about finding health insurance for yourself or your employees. It would make American manufacturers MUCH more competitive with foreign companies, since all the foreign nations we compete with have national health care systems and their corporations don’t have to pay a dime for their employees, which means they can undercut us on cost. But of course single payer won’t happen any time soon, and nothing in any of the proposed plans will do anything for the middle class. They just give billions in corporate welfare to insurance companies.

It’s just another method of making reparations to all the folks who won’t work. He wants to take money from the working class and give it to the do-nothings. Impeach him today!
