Looks like your state is mulling it seriously now, after many months of saying “no.”

Even if the Obamacare loving future attorney makes only $50,000 per year, he will have huge deductibles and premiums.

If the guy has a wife and kids, the family’s medical expenses, even for minor ailments, will add up to a high percentage of his income.

Of course, the media is having a ball making this guy a poster boy for the .....ahem.....”success” of Obamacare.

He says his “premiums” will go to helping other people over 40. Are there Medicaid premiums?

[whattajoke]

he didn’t say that. The WSJ writer said that - as a set up to the joke of it all on the next line.

But get a pre-datual to determine who is on the hook for the birth control!

[Farnsworth]

I sure hope so

Guy takes Medicaid option. You wouldn’t?

Bottom line: Obamacare offered him nothing and he probably won't get Medicaid either because he is a student.

Are there Medicaid premiums?

I don't think so.

[informavoracious]

It’s poorly written, but I believe before he found out he was eligible for expanded Medicaid, he expected that any ObamaCare insurance premiums paid for by his healthy self would prop up some over-40 sickie. Wasn’t that altruistic of him?
