I have heard both ways...

1. That unless you currently qualify for Welfare Medical Card, you wont be covered.
2. The requirements to qualify for Free Obama Care will be opened to more people.

Also, For the People that have to pay, is there any list of states and amounts WITH coverage for the people that pay?

I heard on the radio that one state is offering 3 levels of Coverage.
the basic level would cost $xxx amount, and if you wanted better coverage then pick a higher plan.

I Do know many states will be different, just wondering if anyone has any real numbers yet. My State does not....

I asked the second question, because I thought one of the arguments of Obama care was people get stuck in poverty or forced into poverty with High medical bills they can never pay off. Well if you got the basic plan, I am sure that is prob like a 60/40 coverage, thus people can't afford the 40% of thousands in medical bills...
I was actually just at their site that is listed in this thread the other day. Basically, the way I understand it, if you make below a certain amount of money you will qualify for free government health insurance. This is basically the same coverage you would get if you were on Medicaid. If you make more than a certain amount will need to buy it. There will be exchanges where you can shop for the best prices/options etc. Depending on your income level, number of dependents etc you may also qualify for assistance in paying for the health insurance.
