he should shop through the exchange. if he's eligible for medicaid he'll learn that through the shopping process and be directed to the right place to sign up.
my son is age 26 and no longer on my health insurance plan. . he doesn't have insurance through an employer but does work as an actor/musician and lives on his own making just about enough to support himself without paying for insurance. he was told by a professional before the affordable care act went into effect that he is eligible for medicaid. should he be shopping on the exchange or simply applying for medicaid?
