I thought it was only the temporary enhanced ones for Covid that reached their expiration dates.

But running the numbers, it basically told me "no subsidies."

There's going to be a huge amount of self-harm in this country if this holds, as no one except the wealthy can afford this.

There is next to no hope for this to get fixed in time to help anyone for 2026 without an extension in the enrollments.

Get ready for packed emergency rooms and lots of people refusing treatment.

In states which expanded medicaid, the couple would be eligible for Medicaid.

So in Nebraska health care costs would be zero (Nebraska expanded Medicaid). In Kansas, your numbers might apply, since Kansas did not expand Medicaid (although each state - and each geographical region within each state) will have different premium costs.

In the "middle of the country" only Kansas and Wyoming did not expand Medicaid. Most of the 10 states which did not expand Medicaid are in the south.

But there are certain politicians in those states that are real roadblocks to expansion. They should be remembered at election time, but they never are.

Most of them expanded Medicaid - so people in your worst case scenario are still eligible for Medicaid.

It didn't matter if I set the salary to $90,000. I ended up with the same results.

There was a “doughnut hole” created in the ACA when SCOTUS upheld that the ACA subsidies were legal but it could not force states to accept the enhanced Medicaid requirements. At 0$ you should qualify for Medicaid, though some states have work requirements, but ACA subsidies won’t kick in unless you earn above the FPL.
