The enhanced ACA subsidies expired January 1, 2026.
The subsidy cliff is back. And for a single early retiree
earning $62,601 instead of $62,600 — one dollar difference —
the annual health insurance bill just jumped by $10,000
or more.

This video explains exactly how the cliff works, why it
returned, what income sources push you over it without
warning, and the 6 MAGI reduction strategies that keep
early retirees below the line and preserve subsidies worth
$10,000 to $20,000 per year.

What we cover:
→ How the enhanced subsidies worked 2021–2025 —
and why Congress let them expire
→ The exact 2026 threshold: $62,600 for single filers
→ Why crossing by $1 costs the ENTIRE subsidy —
not a fraction
→ Why a 64-year-old pays $14,400/year vs. $4,000/year
for the same plan — based on one number
→ How Roth conversions blow up ACA subsidies — the
64% effective rate problem
→ Why mutual fund December distributions can push you
over the cliff without any decision on your part
→ The HSA strategy: $4,300 contribution = $4,300 MAGI
reduction = subsidy preserved
→ The Traditional IRA + HSA combination: $12,300
in MAGI reduction available
→ The advance credit repayment trap: what happens
when your estimate is wrong
→ How to update your Marketplace application
mid-year before the damage is done
→ The ages 63–64 IRMAA lookback conflict —
why these two years require dual planning
