ah non expansion red state. i am so sorry. just a quick follow up: i believe there are some folks who qualify for medicaid in non expansion states: those between 100-138% of the FPL (in IL where i am that's like 1000-1387/month). also, we've always been told to apply for medicaid even if you're pretty sure you'll get rejected.

this all makes me so angry.

Thank you very much for the offer. We've looked into it. He doesn't qualify for Obamacare because he doesn't make enough, and he doesn't qualify for Medicaid in Texas because he makes too much, so he's one of those stuck in a gap. On the upside, his condition is chronic, so absent flare-ups we should be able to handle it for a while until, hopefully, some health care solution for folks in his shoes comes through.
