Covered California (as indicated in my message) coveres 2M out of the 40M people in California, or 5% of the population.

Typically, it tends to cover the bottom of the income level, aka the folks who are trying to get a living wage.

Seems like their methodology is a little broken, wouldn't you agree? My out of pocket is a 14K deductible on top of 25K in premiums.



It would not surprise me to learn their methodology is flawed however under the affordable care act people below 400 percent of the poverty line pay less due to tax subsidies so we can't assume 5 percent of the population pays what you pay.
