 [ Symptoms ] i have heartburn can it worsen my asthma [ Disease ] unfortunately people with low incomes living in states that chose not to expand their medicaid programs like florida are often left without good coverage options just as they were before the affordable care act became law but you may be misinformed about what you are and are not eligible for your roommate is income for example does not count toward your household income simply because you share a home you would need to file taxes together in order for your incomes to impact one another for health insurance subsidies open enrollment is now closed for the year but if you recently lost your job and health insurance you may qualify for a special enrollment period if you do you might be eligible for private insurance at highly subsidized rates i suggest you go to healthcare gov and perhaps pick up the phone to speak with someone to make sure you have explored all of your options
