Charles has taken on the task of telling people or warning people about the increasing ACA payments will be if the subsidies drop to 400% FPL from the present 600% FPL. If you remember former President Biden increased the subsidies allowing for people to maintain healthcare during the time when companies were furloughing employees during […]
As a former Michigan resident (now residing in another state), I know of Charles rather well having exchanged emails once and a while. I also read his commentary on ACA Signups. He is also a resident of Michigan when we were living there. If I did not have an answer on healthcare, I would go […]
