3k OWED!

I had marketplace insurance for the first half of 2023. I was an hourly worker with very little income at the time. I reported my earnings accurately until June, when the the company offered me a promotion. Salary and benefits came with it, so I canceled my marketplace insurance. Sounds good, right? No, they STILL wanted me to report my earnings for the rest of the year, even though I wasn't their customer anymore. Just did my taxes and now they want ALL the help that they gave me when I was desperately in need BACK! Over $3,000 owed.

So, you offered to help me so I could find a better life, and as soon as I found it, you want all that help back? Had I known health insurance was a lease agreement, I would have found another way. Maybe ate more broccoli or something.

I called Healthcare.gov and even the rep said it's clearly a flaw in the design. She was as shocked as I was, saying "Wait. This makes no sense."

Anyone? Do you have more information that maybe she wasn't thinking of? This certainly can't be correct!
