Subsidies

Individual subsidies – or individual affordability credits – are included in the health reform legislation to help ensure the goals of the legislation's individual mandate. Legislation provides premium subsidies on a sliding scale to eligible individuals and families with incomes up to four times the federal poverty level to help them purchase coverage through the health insurance exchanges.
