Too poor for health insurance exchange but don't qualify for Medicaid ( my state notdoing expansion)

The single thing which would help you and others like you the most is tort reform; that would cut the cost of medicine in the US in half instantly.

The problem is that the trial lawyers' guild is one of the two major pillars of financial support for the demoKKKrat party. The only thing which would really fix the problem would be outlawing and banning the demoKKKrat party.

So what proof does a person need to show that they are at least 100% of FPL? My mom hasn't worked for years. If she finds a job in 2014, which provides her with at least $12k of income in 2014...would she be able to go through HIX right away the minute she has landed a job?

If you live in a state that chose not to expand Medicaid coverage, but you would qualify for it, you will be granted an exemption by the Marketplace. You would not have to pay the tax for not having insurance.
