According to Florida Blue (current road show), anyone who makes less than 100% of the FPL will not be eligible for a subsidy for health insurance in 2014.
The reason? Florida opted out of the Fed Medicaid expansion.
It would be easy to blame this all on people who aren't making any money, but let's say that you are unemployed for a good part of 2013 or 2014-career change, lost your job, etc, etc, etc.
You claim a subsidy for your 2013 health insurance and then, in 2014 or 2015 your income is below 100% FPL-it's AGI so it's after a bunch of deductions.
The next step will be the IRS wanting back the subsidy, in full.
What a mess this is-so many people will have huge tax bills in 2015 it will boggle the mind...
