Fighting Obamacare subsidies to avoid paying $18 a month for health insurance.

A group of businesses and individuals are trying to get rid of subsidies in states that refused to set up their own exchanges. One individual fighting against the subsidies doesn't want to choose between purchasing health insurance for $18/month or paying the penalty, which figures out to $12/month. His reasoning: If he wasn't eligible for subsidies, he would be eligible for an exemption.
