that income level will qualify you for medicaid. however if your state is not expanding medicaid you may not be able to get financial help. the reason is the aca was written with the assumption that all states would expand their medicaid program. after the supreme court's ruling last summer states were given flexibility to do so and about half have chosen not to. the law was not written to include subsidies for people it initially intended to be covered by medicaid.
