people with work-based insurance that's considered affordable under the law won't qualify for subsidies if they instead of taking their employer's coverage buy a policy through the exchange but that doesn't apply to medicaid. if your income qualifies you you can drop your employer's coverage and sign up for medicaid instead.
i am eligible for medicaid. can i drop the insurance offered by my employer and just have medicaid? . i currently have insurance for my family through my employer. under the new income guidelines in my state we will be eligible for medicaid. under the health care reform act will i have to pay a fine for not keeping my employers insurance? i'm not sure how all this works. thanks mark
