Fewer here fall in the subsidy range than usual

6,281 uninsured people in Clarke County earn inside the premium tax credit range — 42% of the county's uninsured.

One in seven has no coverage

15.0% of Clarke County's 100,046 under-65 residents have no health coverage — 14,974 people. That is close to the Georgia rate of 14.0%, and puts Clarke County in the top quarter of the 3,143 counties measured nationally (485th).

The people below the subsidy floor

6,803 of Clarke County's uninsured — 45%, an unusually large share — the top 5% of all counties measured — earn under $22,025 a year. In Georgia that income is the coverage gap, and no marketplace plan reaches it.

The years before Medicare
