Updated 1/22 with California discussion corrected - please see note 2 at bottom. Reading about Gallup's latest finding that 3.2 million more Americans were uninsured in 2017 than in 2016, I wondered about a particular (small) group of ACA marketplace enrollees: those with incomes in subsidy range who are nevertheless unsubsidized. Such people might be expected to have a particularly hard time with the steep premium increases of 2017 (not to say 2018 and 2019), as premiums take a huge share of their income.
