you'll qualify for any of the "metal level" plans. subsidies are based on the cost of the second lowest price silver plan but if you're willing to pay more you can buy yourself a higher level plan. healthcare. gov should now allow you to see the details of the plans side-by-side. you can also call the 800 number on the site to speak with someone who can help explain it to you.
i read that in some cases one could qualify for gold/platinum health insurance coverage when signing up for silver. but i've found no specifics. why and what are the qualifications? why can i not determine out-of-pocket and co-pay costs before signing up on the healthcare. gov site?
