(8,377 posts)28. Medicaid is different from the exchanges
She can buy any policy on the exchange, but she cannot get a subsidy because she is below 133% of poverty level, I believe. That would put her into Medicaid, but PA is jacking around trying to get the Obama administration to give them all the Medicaid expansion money while not actually expanding Medicaid to cover everybody at no cost up to 133% of poverty level.
So er beef is with the dumbass governor of her state that is jacking around with her and her fellow low-income Pennsylvanians.
