For those of us who live in confederate states and won't get a health insurance exchange,
what will the online federal option look like and how affordable will the options be?

3. If I can hold on for 1 more year I can get off FL Medicaid and get Medicare
|
I'm hoping to stay out if the hospital (for several reasons), but I'll be eligible for Medicare in about 13 months. Florida's Medicaid sux.

6. I thought you would still get a health insurance exchange, but it would just be set-up
|

7. But there won't be any monetary help to make it cheaper.
|
So I wonder what kind of advantage it will provide.
