[quote=bearishgurl]They have their OWN interpretation of the ACA. The bottom line is, you sign up on Covered CA for a non-MediCal plan and accept a subsidy to help pay the premiums (no matter how small), there are a whole lotta of strings attached to that. In short, CC owns your a$$. Not only MUST you file your tax returns on time and NOT file any extensions (as with ALL healthplan exchanges across the country) but your plan’s carrier has absolutely NO SAY whatsoever in whether they get to keep you as a customer the entire 12 months … or not.

You can’t continue too make shit up without being called on it. Nobody is bound to accept subsidies. Anyone can pay full price for their insurance and never share any tax info. Furthermore, even if subscribers do accept subsidies, their tax returns must be timely filed. That means including extensions. You’re just wrong on this. You have no idea what you’re talking about. I have no idea what that last part of the last sentence means about carriers having no say in whether they keep you. They do. Insureds contracts are with the carrier. And only with the carrier.
Additionally, if someone wants to get a premium tax credit and doesn’t want to share tax information with the exchange, whether it’s California or any other state, they don’t have to. Ever. They do have to pay 100% of their premiums up front, and then take the tax credit on their tax return.
