Grab Obamacare before it disappears

Illegally cross the Canadian border. While you wait for your refugee claim to be processed, you get welfare and free medicare. Not that welfare will get you nearly enough money to get by but heh.

Mind telling me how that works? I looked it up, but I honestly still don't understand. My state is Georgia if that helps.

Despite all the negative propaganda, all Obamacare does is require insurance companies rto offer individuals insurance at the same low rates they give to companies or unions. (That's why the insurance companies pay for all the negative ads)

While the insurance companies and Trump weren't able to kill Obamacare, they did succeed in making it very complicated to apply for, specifically to scare people like you away from trying.

You are just going to have to plow your way through the application process. It will be worth it in the end - even if Trump succeeds in killing the program, he will have to provide something for those already enrolled

Thanks for the history, I haven't kept up with it at all. Now, from the way I understand it, I've got two options: Apply for Medicaid and hope that pulls through (unlikely since I'm soon to be out of the age range), or find private insurance and hope my mother can afford it. However, if I understand what a deductible is correctly, doesn't the latter mean she'll have to pay for the first few thousand dollars worth of treatment herself? Also, is healthcare.gov a trustworthy site?

Pardon my ignorance, I've never done this before.

There is no age range for medicaid, not unless you qualify for medicare as an old geezer (65). If you're indigent, then you should qualify for it, just based on household income. Go to your local welfare office i.e. 'depart of health and human services' and process your application there

Alright, I'll do that. Thanks for the help.
