supposedly illegals won't be covered. one of the systems exchanges will have to be linked to is INS-in order to make sure anyone applying is here legally.
the state exchanges will also have to be linked in with the irs, because premiums, stop losses, etc will be determined by last years income. but keep in mind, things don't always start and end on 12/31/20--, so when someone turns a year older, or if you divorce during the year, or there are other changes, then when you file your taxes, you have to pay back any overpayments of premium subsidies.
speaking of subsidies, a family of four with almost 70k in income will receive subsidies to help pay for their health care. their deductibles and stop losses also will be 'subsidized'. now, in ny city, i can see why that would need subsidized...here in arkansas, where the cost of living is incredibly low-that's a joke. that's damn good money around here. which is exactly why the levels should be handled on a state by state basis, not on federal poverty levels. what pays in many areas doesn't in others. how's it feel to know you'll be helping to pay for insurance for someone well in the top 10% of income in this state??? give you a warm, fuzzy feeling?
