Filling jointly or separately?

I am married on ss and penzion total $60,000/year. No other income. My wife has ss $11,000/year only. I am on medicare and she has an individual health care insurance. If we fill jointly she doesn't qualify for health insurance subsidies, and has to pay $900/month premium because our joint income is $71,000. If we fill separately is she qualified for the health care subsidy? Because her income is $11,000/year. Is it allowed to fill our taxes separately instead jointly?

 

Thank you.
