Set up a sole proprietorship or corporation, run it at a loss to pull your income below the cr 65K limit and you can get a Bronze plan for free next year, based on my playing for half an hour this morning on healthcare.gov. Its now literally the case that Bronze plans are completely free for incomes up to the 65K limit, and then full price when your income is $1 more. Its an absolute cliff now, no tiered levels anymore. Caveat is I'm in rural areas, and it likely varies by State. This end game of the process was brought on by Trump stopping the CSR payments and the resulting game played to checkmate that by the insurance companies.

These programs are untenable. While for some, losing money to qualify one for a subsidy may seem like an approach, the idea that one has to give up one's economic livelihood to be able to afford health insurance is just absurd. And why congress is not willing to sit down and settlemthismis beyond me.
