I don’t think so. I think you can put in any lowball number you like for income, which is NOT verified anywhere, and then you get the credit paid month by month, by the government, to the insurance company.
Washington State is verifying incomes just as it does for every other program in which the state is involved. I've already been asked when my 2012 federal income tax will be filed (it has been now).
Oh, sorry I did not realize it was WA.
Another body of a “Useful Idiot” laid into the foundation of Utopia.
gee i thought i had all these other people who were going to be coerced into paying most of my premiums for me, i guess it turned around on me and bit me in my fat ass. i wasn’t bothered they’d be paying a lot more for their premiums, but now i think it’s really unfair that I too will be paying a lot for my premiums.
everyone else can afford to pay a lot more to cover me, cause everyone else is rich. i’m the only one who’s getting screwed here and now this fact makes me demand that they fix it, because now i am getting screwed.
gist of story.
This only considers the government funding portion, not whether the insurance companies remain viable with all the last minute changes the administration has enacted.

omg!!!
WA PingI frequently use some social networking sites, one being FB where Washington liberals there are telling great stories about how much they are saving thanks to their new found plans in the state exchange.
It makes me wonder if they are finding special deals, or just lying like everyone else who proudly wears a "D".
From what I have read, the Washington health insurance exchange was initially giving out incorrect quotes (they were lower than they were supposed to be). That’s why the woman in this article’s quoted rates went up. So, WA’s website was messed up, too.
I think that those people are telling stories about the wonderful deals that they found before the WA State exchange web site was fixed.
“Their only goal is TO GET A SINGLE PAYER STSTEM”
Which is the core of their socialist utopia ... And they EXPECT tens of millions to die to achieve it.

Total Enrollment - 57,000
ObamaCare Policies - 6,000
Medicaid - 51,000
That just about says it all.
I'm going to guess that the only people who go to the trouble of signing up for Medicaid are those who are actually sick.
Can you imagine what January 2nd will be like when 51,000 new patients try to get a doctor's appointment?
Give it 6 months, and the writer will simply quip, “Everybody has to pay their taxes!”.
...and what?
He’s my experience so far.
As you know Bay, I have been battling liver disease for the better part of 12 years now. I have been forced to retire because I don’t have any stamina and cannot give my best.
Since little Debbie Senn the dim state insurance commissioner who ran all of the private insurer’s out of this state back in the early ‘90’s, I have been like a ping pong ball getting batted back & forth by the state and the only HMO in Washington I could get health insurance from. It has sucked.
Two months ago I got a letter stating my insurance plan was being cancelled as of 01/01/2014 and I had to use the “exchange” for replacement insurance. Oh joy! I have a pre-existing condition, need to see specialists 4-6 times a year and when I need a transplant, my payouts are getting high enough the transplant costs would surely be a disqualifying factor.
I went 3 weeks ago to my doctor’s office and met with the gal they trained to handle the “exchange”, I don’t know if she’s a “Navigator” her card says eligibility and enrollment specialist. It took an hour, but she found 33 different plans I could evaluate. I asked her to list the ones that best matched the policy I have now or better.
We found four. So after some consideration I bought a plan that has a 500 deductible, 10 co-pay for some physician calls and zero co-pay for generics and 15 co-pay for name brand drugs that have no generic counterpart.
Actually, the plan is better and the best part with the tax credit, my monthly premium is $208.00. My plan that was cancelled cost me $385.00 monthly. So I am saving $177.00 monthly or $2124.00 annually.
Your Dem friends are probably telling you the truth. I don’t have much faith this policy will last any longer than any of the previous ones without the insurers coming in at a later date and changing things, but for now...
I hope this goes well and stays well for you. I’ve got some issues of my own to deal with this year and I’m just hoping for no bureaucratic snags.
