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.
