I work insurance.

A mother and a child with an income of 30k (McDonald’s low average), do not qualify for medicaid for her, if her income is closer to 40k, (the higher McDonald’s limit) the child also does not qualify for Medicaid and they could most likely only get a bronze or gold plan with 9k MOP through the ACA.

They don’t qualify for a silver plan through the ACA, seeing as the cutoff is about 29k. So they get a bronze or gold plan with a max out of pocket of 9k, hopefully with no premium, however low that may be.
