The documents only list families whose incomes are up to four times the federal poverty level: $88,200. These are the people who would be eligible for government subsidies.

The House bill does not limit the size of premiums for people with incomes above this level; which is why they are not included in the charts. Under the bill, no family would have to spend more than $10,000 on out-of-pocket costs in a year. Those limits do not include money spent for premiums.
