if you're in the country legally yes you can apply for coverage on the exchange and receive a subsidy if your income qualifies you.
i (age 6<positive_smiley> and my husband (age 72) are legal permanent residents since may 2011. we moved to ct a few months ago. our joint income is around $12 000 per month (quite below 100% poverty level). we have not worked in the usa and are not working now. we have no health insurance at present. if we apply for health insurance through accesshealthct are we eligible/qualified for any subsidies?
