What if I can’t afford to buy health insurance? Is Medicaid an option?

By 2011, money will be funded to expand and improve existing community health centers, as well as build new facilities where low-income families and individuals can receive free or low-cost health care.

Beginning in 2014, Medicaid will expand its eligibility to all individuals and families with an income below 133% of the US poverty level, approximately $14,000 for an individual and $29,000 for a family of four. States will receive 100% federal funding for the first three years to cover the increase in individuals covered by Medicaid.
