Medicaid Expansion

In my article about the Affordable Care Act(ACA)/Obamacare/MNSure, I listed some income levels that may allow you to get financial help to pay your Health Insurance premiums, when purchasing a MNSure plan.  But what happens if your income is lower than those levels?
For Low Income people, the ACA has also expanded Medicaid and Minnesota Care to help you.  Here are the Income Levels:
Medicaid:  Single Adults:  with income less than $15,000 annually
Couple:  with income less than $20,000 annually
Minnesota Care:  Single Adults:with income less than $22,980
Couple:  with income less than $31,020
Family of 4:  with income less than $47,000
Note that all these limits are adjusted each year

You can sign up for either of the Medicaid Expansions, by going to MNSure.org  and once you enter your income level, it will navigate you to the right place to buy your insurance
