Currently I have Blue Cross Blue Shield through ACA if that's what the insurance on HealthCare.gov falls under. I was making $14,000 a year when I applied for it last year, and my monthly payment was $16.00 with a $750.00 deductible. I'm a student who just moved back home so I can hurry and finish school, so I had to leave my previous job and am now driving for Uber on the weekends. I will be making about $5,760 a year. When I went to apply for insurance again for next year, the lowest priced plan is $280 a month with a $7,350 deductible. That's an increase of $264 a month from my previous plan and a $6,600 increase in my deductible. All the while I'm making $8,240 less a year. After filling out my application, I also received an eligibility notice email from HealthCare.gov stating....
Based on the information provided, you would be eligible for free or low cost health care through Georgia Medicaid. However, the state of Georgia has chosen not to offer you this health coverage at this time. You won't owe a fee for not having health coverage. This is because of your income, and because the state of Georgia declined to expand Georgia Medicaid to cover individuals in your situation.
I just don't know what to do. Did I fill out the paperwork wrong? Am I basically screwed in terms of health insurance for next year?
