      Unless you're rich, you can get a marketplace plan via Obamacare for less than that, so there's literally no reason to pay that.

        Why would they pay more then? Are you saying that they're lying or that they're unwittingly paying more than they need to?

          I'm saying the author of the article is lying by omission to set an agenda - in this case there's something very weird going on because a "middle class" person would be able to get a subsidy and pay way less with Obamacare, as shitty as Obamacare is. One possibility is that this "struggling middle class" person makes like $150k. Or they do shady tax shit and that's why they won't get an ACA plan.

          If they use little white lies like that, there's probably other cap going on.
