Here's a question: For those of you who are bootstrapping making <$25K or so and live in the U.S., what are you doing for health insurance now? I just found out that in California at least, you will be shunted to Medi-Cal, i.e. the program for people living in poverty. (At least up until now it was.) You do not have the option of getting a subsidy for private insurance if you qualify for Medi-Cal. It is not either/or. You need to exceed a minimum income threshold for that -- and they no longer look at assets/savings to calculate that, only your income. So, if you want a doctor that only takes private insurance, you'd have to purchase it without a subsidy. And of course, the unsubsidized market price has shot way up now. (For my plan, it doubled.) So... what are ya'll doing? Medi-Cal? Full-price private insurance? Uninsured and taking the penalty? Haven't thought about it yet?
