"This tool illustrates health insurance premiums and subsidies for people purchasing insurance on their own in new health insurance exchanges (or “Marketplaces”) created by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Beginning in October 2013, middle-income people under age 65, who are not eligible for coverage through their employer, Medicaid, or Medicare, can apply for tax credit subsidies available through state-based exchanges."

"Walker turned down $38 million in federal funding to help start an exchange and instead deferred to the federal government — by default — to run Wisconsin’s health insurance exchange. Then Walker announced in February that he would reject $12 billion in federal money over 10 years to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, instead coming up with a plan that tightened income restrictions for BadgerCare and pushing 225,000 into the exchange."
