By 2014, those earning up to 133% of the federal poverty level will be eligible for Medicaid. Subsidies - individuals earning less than 400% of the federal poverty levels, will be able to apply for financial assistance in paying for their insurance premiums through government subsidies, as of 2014. In 2014, people will be able to seek out policies offered by not-for-profit companies under the CO-OP program. Source : www.medicalnewstoday.com
