currently i don't have health insurance because i have advanced stage copd and can't work thus i have no income. how will the new health insurance laws affect me?
you will no longer be turned down for coverage because of your copd and are guaranteed insurance starting january 1 2014. without income it's likely you will qualify for medicaid. however not all states are expanding their programs to cover people who were previously not eligible. i would suggest you begin searching the marketplace to get a sense of your options. you can do that at healthcare. gov.
