<prompt> Human: After taxes I took home about 25k last year. My life has been very hard. And miserable.I make enough Im not eligible for any relief or help EBT, Medicaid, even an Obamacare subsidy but Im not making enough to live a very comfortable or fulfilling life. Its just very hard to have to pay for everything when you have to live independently on that salary. I dont have any luxuries. No cable, no internet, cheap phone and plan. Im not in. debt, and besides rent, I only have a few small bills. Of course eating out only happens at most twice a week and then only at fast food restaurants.Your thoughts? Possibly coping methods? Thanks Assistant: even an Obamacare subsidyHow on earth do you get that? You get a subsidy if you make between 100 and 400 of the poverty line. Youre somewhere around 200. You absolutely qualify for a subsidy based on income. If you dont, its due to a different reason.Human: My Gross Income was is like 35k last year. What I actually took home was like 24-25k. Fun times. I worked hard to figure it out, but I wasnt accepted for a subsidy or a reduced rate Silver plan. I initially bought a Catastrophic plan for 200 bucks a month, but then dropped it because there would be no way I could meet the 7,350 deductible anyway. What I really needed was a plan that covered mental health therapy, and with a deductible like that... its not happening.Assistant: You still qualify for an ACA subsidy based on income. As I said, if you dont its due to a different reason.Human: Could be no kids. Apparently its also bad to be childless in regard to ACAAssistant: The poverty line for one person is 11k. So for the third time, based on income alone you do qualify for a subsidy.Human: too late now  <response>: Or get a better job. Even some shitty part time jobs like cashier at supermarkets offer insurance to the employee only. Which is perfect for a single person.
