- Hm, the Kaiser calculator says you'd be eligible. -- (link) - Kim Pine Oct 2, 13:36 6
  - I'm not seeing on the calculator where it'd say I'd be eligible. - Qale Oct 2, 13:44 5

- you're not any of those? you're not really trying, then. -- nm - Tim Oct 2, 13:35 3
  - No kidding. It's bizarre that the subsidies don't kick in until $11k. I mean, wouldn't those be the ones that need it most? -- nm - Qale Oct 2, 13:38 2
    - Well, those are the ones who *should* get 100% coverage from Medicaid. -- nm - Kim Pine Oct 2, 13:39 1
