The Affordable Health Care Act and Traditional Students
The Affordable Health Care act has deemed that Americans must have health
insurance by a certain date or it will be taken out of our taxes. Now I am a
traditional student- I go to school full time and I don't work. In order
to qualify for this you first must have some type of income. But this system
was advertised as free. When I called the hotline they said I didn't
qualify because I didn't have any income and therefore redirected me to
apply for medicaid. In order to qualify for medicaid you must have kids or be
pregnant (women) or have some sort of disability. So what do students do if
they don't have any disabilities, are not pregnant, and don't have
any kids?
I propose that traditional students should get health care free as long as
they are in school.
