Health insurance question

Jessica4Bama said:

So as y’all may know I quit my job to focus on nursing school. Well of course with no income, it’s hard to pay the nearly $500 a month health insurance premium. I thought my premium would go down if I was a full-time student and with little income, I thought for sure it would go down. The only income I’ll have next year (unless something happens with my schooling) is my mutual fund interest and the interest I get from my savings account at the bank.

I just went to the healthcare marketplace, and entered my info. I won’t get any discount. What am I suppose to do? I just got a letter last week from BCBS that my premium was going up yet again.

If I enter that I’ll make $15,000 next year, I get a big cut, but anything less than that I don’t get relief. I obviously can’t put that amount on there because when I don’t have any income when I file my taxes next year, I’ll have to pay all that back.

check with the Nursing school. Alabama had (has?) a clinic that took care of all my medical needs while in school, perhaps your school has a plan

Who would I contact about that? I’m assuming they don’t as I haven’t heard anything about one, but it will be good to ask to make sure.

I don’t think my community college offers that. :frown:

Well that really sucks. And I can’t do without insurance because I have to have twice a year screenings for the breast cancer mutation gene. I’m sure most won’t cover those.

um, duh?

But the state of Alabama GOP refused the Medicare Expansion which would have benefited Jessica directly so therefor the Republicans did this to her and it would be against her own interests to vote for them
