you bring up a very important issue regarding the tax credits. eligibility is based on income and there are thresholds used to determine whether or not you qualify. for a couple with an annual income of around $62 000 tax credits will be available. but if your income is above the threshold--even if by a small amount--you could be out of luck with regard to your eligibility for financial assistance.
yesterday i looked on the ca calculator for the new health care plan. i saw that my husband (who will be retiring soon) and i will pay $491/mo. for health insurance if our income is $62 000/yr. but $1 80<negative_smiley>mo. if our income is $62 100/yr. could someone please explain how that's possible?
