I haven’t had income in a few years because I’ve been working on a personal project that has yet to materialize. I am on Obamacare and it’s really good. It’s free, better than anything on the market you can buy with money. $1 rx copay, no copay for visits, no referrals to specialists, and the network seems to have all the highly rated specialists in the area. When you see a doctor there are no unexpected, unintelligible bills months later that you have to argue endlessly.
It keeps me from taking side jobs because I’d immediately have too much money and would have to buy inferior insurance. I know this is very different from the much more difficult and real circumstance in the OP but having heard of welfare entrapment for a long time it was odd for me to realize that it had sort of happened to me too. Welfare, man.
- selimthegrim 8y agoYou mean Medicaid, not Obamacare (a policy purchased on the exchange)
- linkmotif 8y agoCorrect. In Maryland and probably other states it’s Medicaid that pays MCOs. “Obamacare” seems to be a colloquialism for all programs that resulted from the ACA. I believe MCOs paid by Medicaid are from the ACA. Certainly the ACA mandated I had to enroll, buy a plan or pay the penalty.
