Cost-sharing reductions (CSR)
Silver plans in this county carry the standard cost-sharing shown above. If your household income is between 100% and 250% of the federal poverty level, HealthCare.gov automatically applies CSR variants of silver plans that lower deductibles, copays, and the annual out-of-pocket maximum — the plan name stays the same but the numbers on your Summary of Benefits change.
Subsidy context for 2026
The enhanced premium tax credits from the American Rescue Plan Act and the Inflation Reduction Act expired December 31, 2025, so for plan year 2026 the pre-2021 ACA subsidy structure returns — households above 400% of the federal poverty level receive no premium tax credit at all, and lower-income households pay a larger share of the benchmark plan's premium (see the Congressional Research Service report R48290 and KFF's 2026 premium tracker). These figures describe the rules; nothing on this page is a recommendation.
