So, does this mean I can haz Medicaid now?

[Jamastiene]

Single, well below the poverty line (have job, no health coverage offered at job, not enough hours to make it out of poverty), and no children.

So, how soon does the Medicaid expansion kick in?

1. wellllllllllllll I just hope you do not have anything that is life threatening right now

I do not think anything is going to kick in too soon

2. Yes

If your income is low enough you go on Medicaid.

and the answer is no.

5. What large infrastructure laws have gone into effect upon signing?

Are or were there any, or did people have to wait for weeks, months, years before infrastructure, regulation, and enforcement caught up?

[depakid]

6. That wasn't the question

[boppers]

8. Can I haz social security benefits now?

The question is simple.

And intellectually simplistic.

No, you can't have benefits for something you didn't pay in to, be it social security, or healthcare.

4. How many employees?

If it's over 50, they have to cover you or get fined... and Medicaid is far below what they have to cover.
