first the law expands medicaid in many states so if your income remains very low you may still qualify. otherwise the law provides subsidies to help cover the cost of insurance for those making too much to qualify for medicaid but less than about $46 000 for one person. you can begin shopping for coverage at healthcare. gov.
i'm a single person on medicaid. i will lose coverage as soon as i find a job which i've been searching for. since i don't have a college degree my income will likely provide for little more than basic living expenses such as food and shelter. what options will be available to someone in my situation and how soon? also what steps are involved in the process?
