    Obamacare Subsidy
    I learned there are 7770,00 with health insurance in Florida. These low income people do not file income taxes. Many get their support from a family member's
    Social security income. They do not file income taxes and are not eligible for the subsidy.

    The Health market place has fail to suggest if you should file a income tax
    Form on Social Security income alone. There are no income tax withheld.
    Even if by a miracle they would get the subsidy the policy itself has a $6,500
    Deductible making it worthless to use

    Medicaid in Florida will not be expanded.

    So, why did you vote for Obamacare?

    Since you do not seem to have a question, your thread has been moved to a Discussion Board. If you have a question about the issue, please ask it. Otherwise have fun discussing the issue.

    Pastor,
    I assume that your first sentence was meant to say "777,000 WITHOUT health insurance in Florida" Correct?
    One possibility is Community Health centers which were supposed to be expanded as part of the ACA (obamacare).
    This is a sample list of some of those centers in FL (I picked Broward County at random):
    About.com: http://findahealthcenter.hrsa.gov/Search_HCC.aspx?byCounty=1

    These centers are supposed to work as follows:
    HRSA health centers care for you, even if you have no health insurance. You pay what you can afford, based on your income. Health centers provide:
    1. checkups when you're well
    2. treatment when you're sick
    3. complete care when you're pregnant
    4. immunizations and checkups for your children
    5. dental care and prescription drugs for your family
    6. mental health and substance abuse care if you need it


    You should be able to search for locations of these centers on the site of that link also.

    Various news reports indicate that Florida is one of about 9 "may expand Medicaid" states. Stay tuned to the political goings on.
