There is a calculator mentioned in the article: https://www.kff.org/interactive/how-much-more-would-people-p...

I am trying to do the before/after for a single Adult earning $25,000 per year. It looks to be a 4% difference. I am not sure how you go from ~$500 to $2800 using this calculator. Short of starting to cover more people like children, etc.



I put 75k income and it says:

Your cost for a silver plan would increase by $1,577 per month ($18,924 per year) without enhanced subsidies

That's for a 63 year old in a random zip code in WV.


I had no idea that ACA prices were so different based on where you lived. I couldn't understand the numbers as I put in my family's stats & saw $600-$800/mo in my current and a couple of my former locations. Then I flipped to a random zip code in WV & it was $2200.


Ah, I didn’t specify location. I do wonder if this calculator is working properly. I have no way to confirm.

Like the person below said it’s wild how much the price swings. Seems to defy logic. Then again we are talking about US healthcare….
