Lower Cost Health Insurance Through Medicaid?
Sometimes, the cost of employer sponsored health insurance can be too much. For the unemployed and very low income, there may not even be any available health insurance. One solution to this problem is to look for the Medicaid programs in your state. Every state has a Medicaid program, although the names are all different, which is designed to cover those who do not have health insurance or who cannot afford it. For those who have no access to health insurance, Medicaid can provide nearly free coverage. For those who do have access through their employer but cannot afford it, Medicaid may be a very low cost option. Health insurance is critical to have in case of emergencies and there are many ways to get insurance if you do not currently have any.
