She is 59 years old and a smoker and self employed. Her monthly premium, thanks to subsidies will now be $172/month vs. her current payment of $697/month!!!

All of the parameters change (deductible/out of pocket costs/etc) depending on your income. She is very, very happy. She is a Republican and was very skeptical of signing up for this, however, she had tears in her eyes when she saw her savings.

She is going to tell her other self employed friends to check it out .
