Losing MaineCare Dec. 31 and unless I am mistaken, *too poor* for Federal ACA assistance

[GreenPartyVoter]

11. Was moved from MaineCare to Transitional MaineCare this past spring. This month I have been trying

to work out how we can afford Obamacare (It's very expensive in this state due to having only 2 companies in our exchange.) Then we received a letter from DHHS saying we will continue getting transitional MaineCare for a few more months.

So I called our case worker and asked what happens if we no longer qualify for under the transitional situation at the end of 6 months. I pointed out that the exchanges would be closed and private insurance would be unavailable to us that way. She said it was "an oversight (one of many) that no one had addressed at this point."

I am very, very grateful to have a few more months of truly affordable health coverage, but in the back of my mind I am still worried about what will happen down the road.

Have you found any loopholes yet, eShirl, that would get you onto ObamaCare? It would still be better than nothing.
