In reply to the discussion: Discussion I'm having on FB. Can someone with knowlege about the ACA help me out? [View all]Rstrstx
(1,399 posts)41. Actually it's just 100% of FPL
But if she makes less than that, yeah, she's pretty much SOL. If I were someone who was a few hundred or thousand or so below qualifying I'd see if I could "earn" some extra income from a friend or relative to put me over the top, whatever it took. 2014 may be the first year ever the IRS sees a number of people actually overestimating their income, just to get health insurance.
I've been racking my little head over this for a couple of months trying to figure out how to help some people legally get coverage if they don't make 100% of the FPL but too much for Medicaid. Anyone have some creative ideas?
