The scenario outlined above is highly unlikely. If one is truly a high net worth individual than the income on their investments will almost certainly put them well above the income cap to receive Obamacare income tax credit subsidies. For a high net worth individual to keep their income low enough to qualify for subsidies, they would basically have to stuff their savings under a mattress. Who in their right mind would forego many thousands of dollars of investment income to save a few thousand dollars in health care premiums? I suppose there are some examples of idiots that stashed their savings in crypto to avoid reporting income, but how did that work out for them?
