I'm not sure I'd qualify even if they did. According to GA's site...

Have low income sure, but I'd also apparently have to be pregnant, a child/teenager, old, blind, disabled, or in a nursing home.

Hm, the Kaiser calculator says you'd be eligible. -- (link) - Kim Pine Oct 2, 13:36 6
- I'm not seeing on the calculator where it'd say I'd be eligible. - Qale Oct 2, 13:44 5
  - But wait - it's based on your expected 2014 income. Does that make a difference? -- nm - Kim Pine Oct 2, 13:53 4
    - Good catch. I haven't yet screwed up 2014 tax returns. (I still should fix older ones.) -- nm - Qale Oct 2, 13:57 2
      - You might still prefer to pay the penalty (it's less than what your premium would be). Just depends whether you want the insurance, really. -- nm - Kim Pine Oct 2, 14:00 1
        
        I need the insurance. I'm not getting any younger. -- nm - Qale Oct 2, 14:06
    - (Like if you expect to make, say, $12,000 in 2014 you qualify for the exchange with subsidy. -- nm - Kim Pine Oct 2, 13:54
you're not any of those? you're not really trying, then. -- nm - Tim Oct 2, 13:35 3
- No kidding. It's bizarre that the subsidies don't kick in until $11k. I mean, wouldn't those be the ones that need it most? -- nm - Qale Oct 2, 13:38 2
  - Well, those are the ones who *should* get 100% coverage from Medicaid. -- nm - Kim Pine Oct 2, 13:39 1
    - *ding* -- nm - Spawn Oct 2, 13:43
