In reply to the discussion: Arizona declines to set up state-based health insurance exchange [View all]TM99
(8,352 posts)So I am on state medicaid currently. As I begin working more, I will be forced off of it as Brewer and AZ Republicans are doing everything they can in the last 2 years to get citizens off the AHCCCS plans.
So, if they decline to set up a state exchange under the ACA, what happens to people like me? Will the Feds step in and set it up? Will they wait till 2014? Will I have a gap in insurance and therefore medical care? I require several prescriptions that I must take, or I do risk death. After chemo successfully eradicated a pituitary tumor, I have been left with a damaged & failing gland. I will be on several necessary hormones for the rest of my life.
This has never fully been explained and frankly, it has me very concerned.
Can someone with more knowledge on this subject please weigh in?
Thanks.
