unfortunately georgia is one of the states that did not expand their medicaid program. as written the affordable care act required all states to expand their medicaid program for people up to 138% of the federal poverty level (about $16 000) with the federal government paying the full share of the cost. the supreme court struck down this requirement however and made it optional for states. because your state did not expand its medicaid program you may not be eligible for medicaid (you should still check with your marketplace however to confirm). because your income is so low that you do not need to file taxes you will probably not qualify for a federal subsidy to pay for private insurance either. because the law assumed states would expand their medicaid programs the federal subsidies were only made available for people between 100% and 400% of the poverty level. because you do not file taxes however you will not be subject to any tax penalty for not having insurance. a small consolation i know.
i live in georgia. i am unemployed and am my 93-year-old father's caregiver. i do not file taxes. will i qualify for 100% subsidized health insurance?
