What does Obamacare bronze plan cover?
Covered California’s Bronze Plan covers 60\% of your annual medical services on average, and is the least expensive plan available that qualifies for premium assistance.

What is the Affordable Care Act’s subsidy cliff?
The Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) “subsidy cliff” refers to the fact that premium subsidy (premium tax credit) eligibility—for people who buy their own health insurance in the exchange —normally ends abruptly at a household income of 400\% of the poverty level.
The majority of enrollees who purchase health coverage through Affordable Care Act (ACA) exchanges receive premium tax credits to help them afford their monthly premiums. To a large extent, subsidized enrollees are shielded from premium increases because their subsidies rise along with premiums.
