The Affordable Care Act's free health plans


Bob Herman Dec 11, 2019
Roughly 4.7 million people who have no health insurance could get coverage next year without paying a dime for the monthly premium, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation analysis.
Why it matters: If you make less than $50,000 as an individual or $103,000 as a family of four — and you can't get health insurance through your job or Medicaid — you could get coverage for free.
  • The deductibles would still be really high, which would be a major financial hurdle for this group, but many preventive services like vaccines would be completely covered. 
Of note: This is especially relevant given the new research that shows having health insurance leads to fewer deaths.
