For boomers: Higher premiums, cheaper subsidies

For a single person around 60 years old and in Nehls' income bracket this year, a mid-tier silver plan in Knoxville costs about $12,530 a year, according to analysts from the Kaiser Family Foundation. With an $8,450 tax subsidy, the net cost falls to $4,080 or about 10 percent of the person's income.

Under the Senate plan, the annual premium on a silver plan for the 60-year-old would shoot up to about $16,800, while the tax credit would decrease to $7,750. The net annual cost would be $9,080, or about quarter of the individual's income.

"That's pretty steep to be paying for health care," said Nehls, who has high medical needs after a biking accident left him in a wheelchair three years ago.
