If you and your family are at 400% or below Federal Poverty Level you will be eligible to receive a subsidy from the government to help cover part of your private insurance premiums.  Your maximum premium will be determined as a percentage of your annual household income.
For Example: 
A single person making $35,000 per year would pay approximately $277 per month for a silver level plan.  
A single person making $17,235 per year would pay approximately $57 per month for the same plan and have a reduction in out of pocket costs.
