What's the deal with health insurance subsidies?

The Kaiser subsidy calculator http://kff.org/interactive/subsidy-calculator/ says I'd be eligible for a Silver policy with a 94% actuarial value, meaning I would only have to pay for 6% of everything. The value penguin http://www.valuepenguin.com/ppaca/exchanges mentions nothing about this and has co-insurance rates much higher. So do 94% actuarial policies exist or not?

It seems not to have all the info inputted into it yet. I would keep trying the healthcare.gov site until you succeed. Another option, I believe, is to contact an insurance person who handles a wide variety of companies for your state.
