密歇根的一位男子与他的柏拉图室友结了婚, 以承担ACA补贴结束后的医疗保险费用, A Michigan man married his platonic roommate to afford health insurance after ACA subsidies ended, highlighting rising U.S. coverage affordability issues.

Mathew是密歇根州40岁的男子,他于2025年9月与25岁的柏拉图族室友和最好的朋友Christina结婚,以便在增加的可负担护理法(ACA)补贴到期后维持可负担的健康保险。 Mathew, a 40-year-old Michigan man, married his 25-year platonic roommate and best friend, Christina, in September 2025 to maintain affordable health insurance after enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies expired. 他每月的保费从181美元涨至427美元, 使得保险费用负担不起, 所以他通过Christina的雇主获得了每月121美元的新计划。 His monthly premium jumped from $181 to over $427, making coverage unaffordable, so he secured a new plan through Christina’s employer for $121 a month. 婚姻不是浪漫的,而是继续治疗其自免疫症的实际选择。 The marriage, not romantic, was a practical choice to continue treatment for his autoimmune condition. 专家指出,这种安排是合法的,由于联邦补贴的丧失而重新出现,突出了美国保健系统目前面临的负担能力方面的挑战。 Experts note such arrangements are legal and resurging due to the loss of federal subsidies, highlighting ongoing affordability challenges in the U.S. health care system. Mathew仍满怀希望的国会将恢复补贴, 但承认并非每个人都有支持性伴侣, Mathew remains hopeful Congress will restore the subsidies but acknowledges not everyone has a supportive partner to marry for coverage.
