Did you know the tax credit is still available under the Affordable
Care Act? If your income falls below the
limit based on family size, you may qualify for a significant tax credit for
health insurance. This credit may have the ability to lower your monthly
payment to under $1.00 per month.
You still have time to sign up for the plan
because having health insurance is now the law.
A lot of insurance companies are offering their own version of the
Affordable Care Act (ACA) to compete with other insurance companies. Organizations like Blue Cross, Humana and
others offer similar plans because they all will have to comply with the law
and, competition is a part of being in business.
The Following table is from Health Care
Marketplace literature.

Unfortunately, Michigan Attorney General, Bill Schuette has
decided to fight this benefit by joining in on a law suit to eliminate it altogether
(Detroit Free Press Article – Click Here). If they are successful, your ACA monthly
insurance rate will increase over %800 percent. For a household of one person, your Bronze
Insurance plan will go from $0.38 cents to $312 per month. You can still
register for ACA coverage by logging onto www.healthcare.gov and sign up.
Finally, if you support this benefit, you must Vote in August and November for a change in U.S. Congress, State Legislature and, the Michigan Attorney General’s Office.
