today is the last day for open enrollment in many places!!!! you may be able to essentially have free semi-okay healthcare if you’re eligible for tax credits

for example, i made $16k a year in texas and the cheapest plan was $210 a month. tax credits made it free in the end

my deductible was still $6k but at the end of the day, preventative services (vaccines, annual checkups and obgyn, birth control) were free to me because of this and that can make a big difference

it’s not ideal and it’s not what i would call “good care” but just in case you felt trapped between not being eligible for medicaid + having hardly any money, sometimes it can work. just want everyone to be okay
