under the law there is financial assistance to help make the cost of coverage more affordable. people with very low incomes in states that expanded their medicaid programs may qualify for low or no cost coverage through that program. people with incomes below about $46 000 per year qualify for tax credits to lower the cost of insurance premiums. the lower your income the more help you'll get. in addition if you earn less than roughly $29 000 you may qualify for reduced cost-sharing. that means you'll pay less when you go for medical care. you should log onto healthcare. gov right away. you'll be able to plug in your income information and learn if you qualify for financial assistance. open enrollment closes this sunday february 15th so you need to act now to get health insurance for 2015. once open enrollment closes you won't have a chance to buy insurance for the remainder of the year.
