Questions About Health Insurance Subsidies;

"How will premium subsidies be provided?

Premium tax credits would be refundable and advanceable. A refundable tax credit is one that is available to a person even if he or she has no tax liability. An advanceable tax credit allows a person to receive assistance at the time that they purchase insurance rather than paying their premium out of pocket and waiting to be reimbursed when filing their annual income tax return.

...The cost of the subsidies is a function of the number of people that are eligible for subsidies, and how generous the subsidies are."
