<prompt> Human: I missed the deadline for the healthcare marketplace earlier this year due to unemployment and I was checking the website today since its opening again.I work part-time, average 27 hours a week for just above min wage. A second job isnt possible at the moment due to my shifts not being consistent.I just dont see how 25 of my income going to health insurance is fair. I cant get it through my employer because Im part time. Im not really sure what to do here.Edit: As it turns out I was entering my post-tax wages when I should have been putting in my wages before tax which is about 14,000. My job is actually pretty decent, making 10 an hour, its just part-time so thats not the greatest. Im definitely planning on doing something career-wise, I just have to figure out which one is worth the cost of college and is something I can do.It sucks that theres a problem in Missouri with having to make a certain amount of money before youre considered low income but I dont plan on staying in this state indefinitely. Thanks everyone for the help and replies, it can be rather daunting when youre not making much and the well-paying jobs are available only to college graduates and men who are physically capable of doing more than I am.  <response>: Just to clarify: OP has in a comment suggested an AGI of 14,000 before taxes, which is about 120 FPL for a single filer. At that MAGI, OP is eligible for tax credits to help pay for health care premiums, and OP would spend no more than 2.01 of OPs income on premiums, not 25. OP wont fall into the coverage gap in Missouri with that level of income. This page estimates there are about 109,000 people in Missouri, though, who do fall into the coverage gap.
