Is there free health insurance for adults?
Yes, there are ways to get free or low-cost health insurance through the Affordable Care Act (ACA, also called Obamacare), even for adults.
Here are two primary options:
- Medicaid: This government-funded program provides healthcare coverage for low-income individuals and families. Eligibility requirements vary by state, but generally, income must be below a certain threshold.
- Subsidies: The ACA offers subsidies (tax credits) to help people afford health insurance. These subsidies are based on income, so the lower your income, the larger the subsidy.
