does recent college graduate school grad not working yet qualify
for Obamacare subsidy?

after 4 years of college, he continued with 2 years of graduate school and
will receive a master's degree in a couple of month. during all these years,
he has been on the student health plan at the same school. the policy ends
30 days after graduation, according to the school website


since he hasn't found a job yet, what will he do for health insurance? he
only has a part-time job that pays about $10,000 a year.

Medicaid, if state expanded medicaid.
Large subsidy if income is above $11,500
No subsidy, pay full price if under that income.

that's what I figured....

guess it's full price then... since his college is located in a Republican state,
and so is his home state... no expansion.

unbelievable coverage

since the Obamacare deadline is the end of March,
can he still apply for coverage when his school
health plan ends in May?
