Getting a subsidy from the Obamacare exchange is all about your adjusted gross income. If you can structure your finances so as to show a low adjusted gross income then you can get a subsidy. In other words, your net worth is not part of the equation - only what you show as adjusted gross income on your tax return.

We started with Florida Blue, but changed to United Health care for last year (they seem to be the preferred provider in The Villages). as of Jan 1, 2017, UHC will no longer be issuing individual policies in the State of Florida. So, for us, it's back to Florida Blue at about the same rate with a higher deductible than last year.

You can try going through the exchange, while it still lasts, but if you don't qualify for a subsidy, it's really not worth it. BTW, we used Mid Florida Agencies in the Palm Ridge Plaza and Renata Cockburn 352 259-0666. Good Luck!
