Fix the 'Family Glitch' by changing the definition of affordable to include the cost of a family plan. - Repost

Created by S.P. on December 08, 2015

On behalf of the 2-4 million Americans who can not afford insurance due to the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) 'family glitch'.

The 'family glitch' is preventing the ACA from fulfilling the primary goal, provide affordable insurance to all Americans.

The law has determined that if an individual has access to self-only health insurance that is less than 9.56% of their annual income then they can not receive gov subsidies. The problem is that the law does not consider the significantly higher cost of family insurance.

This petition is asking the gov to include the cost of family insurance when calculating if a plan is affordable or not, and to provide subsidies to those in need.
