So here is another discussion regarding health insurance. My sister in New York while a student was on Medicaid which means she is low income and does not need to pay a premium on Health insurance plans. She has a few minor medical issues but her thyroid needs to be monitored. So last year she got a job earning a total of $38K gross, Medicaid sent her a letter letting her know she is no longer covered and would have to get an insurance plan in the free market. She calls around for insurance and the lowest she can find is for almost $600 per month. That's a big chunk of her meager paycheck, her options are forego insurance, quit her job, find another job to cover insurance. She will not be able to survive with 38K a month much less paying for health insurance. Does anyone has any input on how she can get back on Medicaid?
