checking out the healthcare marketplace - confused

[summerreading]

Hi,

Hoping someone can help me out. I'm looking at the plans on the gov site for obamacare. I am estimating a low income for 2014. I'm not too sure what our income will be, but this year was rough and next year may or may not be the same. If I estimate a little lower, then it says we may qualify for medicaid. So when it show us as paying, then it says $84/month for the first bronze plan but the site says one enrollee - does this really mean one family?

 

ETA: I missed the part to input everyone's age. It then gave us different options based on the kids ages.

 

 

Thanks so much

Hopefully you can figure it all out. I started to but then dh got a job that offers insurance starting Jan. 4. Dh is Native American and the rules are different for them (if enrolled in a federally recognized tribe or other qualifications) so I was struggling to figure out if the rules were just for him or his FAMILY or ????

Congrats on the job! It must be a relief to get insurance now.

I don't know how this will all work out, but I just read that my state, NJ, is expanding their family care medicaid program. Before, only kids were covered. Now I think lots more adults will be getting coverage.
