Why Many Families Pay $0/Month for Coverage — Understanding ACA Subsidies
It’s true—many families pay $0 per month for ACA health insurance. At Fortura Insurance Agency, we help you understand how subsidies work and whether your household qualifies.
1. Premium Tax Credits Explained
These credits reduce your monthly premium cost.
Eligibility depends on income, household size, and local plan costs.
Some families have tax credits large enough to cover the full premium.
2. What Are Cost-Sharing Reductions (CSR)?
CSRs lower deductibles, copays, and coinsurance for eligible Silver plans.
While they don’t lower the premium itself, they reduce your out-of-pocket costs when you use care.
3. Why Some Families Pay $0/Month
If your tax credit is equal to or greater than the premium, your cost becomes $0.
This is common for families with moderate incomes or larger household sizes.
Choosing a qualifying plan is required.
4. How to Check Whether You Qualify

5. Consider Total Cost, Not Just Premiums
A $0 premium is great, but also check deductibles and provider networks.
Sometimes a low-premium plan with better cost-sharing saves more overall.
Review estimated yearly costs for the best value.
