you can buy your own health plan through the marketplace but if your husband claims you as a dependent on his tax return you'll need to list your entire household income - his and yours - on the application. that will be the dollar amount used to determine whether or not you qualify for a tax subsidy to help pay for your health plan.
my husband already has his own health insurance that i am not covered under. . i have a pre-existing condition and i do not work. i do not get medicaid or disability. i was covered under our state's high risk plan but that ends dec. 31 because of the new health care law and i have no income to show as my own. can i get the new health coverage on my own without my husband's income shown nor his health insurance plan shown? can i still get obamacare on my own?
