Cheapdate, is Tennessee running it's own exchange or having the Federal gov't. run it for them? My daughter, who lives here in Charleston, would be eligible for subsidies based on her income, but the healthcare.gov representative said because South Carolina opted out of one provision or another (not really clear on that) she would not be able to take advantage of them. However, she was issued an IRS waiver so she does not have to pay the penalty for not having insurance on her income tax.

My wife's ex in Georgia has incredibly low premiums due to his subsidy. I just don't understand what makes South Carolina so different.

It's all so arcane.... Once again, America seeks the lowest common denominator. Manifest Destiny my ass!
