My wife and I are early 60s retired, not yet on Medicare. The new Obamacare prices are out today and our monthly cost went from $1k/month to $1.9k/month. This is clearly over the 8% of income hardship limit for us so I should not have to pay any tax penalty for not buying Obamacare.

I believe the 8% rule applies to the Bronze plan. If there is Bronze plan in your county that is under 8% of your income, you wouldn't qualify for the hardship..

Evo,
The numbers I quoted were for the cheapest bronze plan. You should see the price of the others.
