I have Blue Cross and employee premiums were 800 so I qualified and premiums are about 450 with credits.
The exchangers would "probably" never find out if you were offered a company plan. In my case I received a lump sum for health care premiums that expired when I reached 65. The only issue with it was that I was not allowed to receive a subsidy in order to use the credits.
