Abstract
Under the Affordable Care Act, the federal government will provide financial assistance to millions of middle- and low-income families. Subsidies, or tax credits, will reduce the amount many individuals and families pay for health insurance, and for some, also lower their out-of-pocket costs at the time they seek medical care.
