Susan and Stan Collins live in Iowa, are married and have two children ages 6 and 10. In 2016, Susan's income is $38,000 and Stan's is $12,000 and both are self-employed.

Annual premiums $9,800
Annual premium for the designated silver plan in the state $10,800
Federal Poverty Line for a family of four $24,250
