CBO didn't "report" anything. They "projected" things

Semantics. They call the thing a report.

Not real sure how valid this concern is, though. I used the subsidy calculator here.

I picked Texas, zipcode 77801(Bryan), family of 3 with 2 adults, one 27 and one 30, nonsmokers, 1 kid.With an income of $30k, they are looking at around $1250 a year for health insurance. At $31k, it gets boosted to $1364, or $114 more a year. Take out taxes and they should still net around $750 a year. Would they pass on the $750 or so a year? I don't think so.

Ok, what about someone single, minimum wage. At $15k a year income, they would pay $300 per year. At $15.5k they would pay $482. Now that might be discouraging. But still result in measurably more money.
