I went to pick up a prescription from my local grocery. It was $10 for 3 months worth but was removed from that list and now costs $76. So I didn't get it. I just filled out this subsidy calculator from the Kaiser Foundation (great organization) at <a href="http://kff.org/interactive/..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://kff.org/interactive/subsidy-calculator/">http://kff.org/interactive/... and based on my income of about $6000 a year and my age of 59 my subsidy in Texas would be:

<i>Household income in 2014: 52% of poverty level Maximum % of income you have to pay for the premium, if eligible for a subsidy: None Health Insurance premium in 2014 (for a silver plan, before tax credit): $6,100 per year You could receive a government tax credit subsidy of up to: $0 per year (which covers 0% of the overall premium) Amount you pay for the premium: $6,100 per year (which equals 101.67% of your household income and covers 100% of the overall premium) Other Levels of Coverage

The premium amounts above are based on a Silver plan. You could purchase other levels of coverage, such as a Gold plan (which would be more comprehensive) or a Bronze plan (which would be less comprehensive). </i>
