you can still use your existing plan through the end of this year and your medicaid coverage should be in place by january 1. when you become eligible for medicare you'll sign on for that. i know it's a lot of shifting plans right now and that's difficult. but you will remain covered and once you're on medicare your coverage will become more stable.
what am i supposed to do? my health insurance company sent a letter that my insurance is being canceled dec. 31. i applied through the ny exchange and it won't let me go any further because they told me i will now qualify for medicaid which i did not before. now i have to wait for a letter from the state before i can complete the application. i am 64 and a half and only need the insurance for four months! i already changed my primary doctor's appointment to dec. 30. it's making me sick!
