Re: Obamacare

One of the things the ACA is supposed to do is expand Medicaid so people who straight up can't afford insurance (like you) still have insurance. This is supposed to be covered by federal government funds entirely for the first three years, and up to 90% covered in the later years. Depending on your state, however, some politicians (read: mostly Republicans) are refusing to expand Medicaid.

Basically, there were provisions for your situation, but politicians are being assholes about it. Fortunately, there's this:

"The government has said people who would have been covered by Medicaid in states that aren’t accepting the expansion will not face fines."

So, if you're eligible for Medicaid (or would be), you're supposedly golden.

DA--I'm in California and supposedly qualify for Medi-Cal based on my last tax return, so this doesn't apply to me, but that's cool about people in states where legislators are being bastards not having to pay the fines. I was worried about that on behalf of all the people who are already being fucked over just because of where they live. I hope people who can afford to start voting with their feet and move to states that took federal money for expanding their health-care safety net.

...if we could afford to move, we probably wouldn't be where we are right now...

But it's a nice sentiment! :)
