the perverse situations in states that don't expand medicaid is that it's people with the lowest incomes who can't afford insurance without financial help who will be left without options. only people with incomes between $11 490 and $46 000 annually are eligible for subsidies. below that the law requires people to get coverage through medicaid so in states not expanding the program people earning less that $11 490 would have to pay the full cost of private insurance or go without coverage.
my state didn't expand medicaid. what if your annual income is below $11 500 and you don't qualify for medicaid? . can you still use the health insurance exchange?
