Feel free to re-read what I wrote. In the State of Texas, there is a household asset test of $10,000. What assets are included? Who constitutes the "household"? What happens when a 17 year-old gets a job and saves money, but there are other children? Does the 17 year-olds assets cause the other children to lose coverage? What happen if granma moves into the household and has money in her checking account? What if the money comes in and goes out so that the average balance in checking and savings never exceeds $10,000, but the high was greater.
Now mulitply the above by 50 different states, then multiply that asset test by the other tests.
I am not saying people can't figure it out, I am just saying it is overly complicated.
