I’m curious about this situation. It’s about a family member...
Husband is employed by a decent-sized company. I assume he has employer-provided health insurance for at least himself.
Wife was just diagnosed with advanced breast cancer. She was advised by 2 close members who are in the insurance business to immediately quit her job, which I assume also had health insurance. Quitting the job was very much impacted by her need to dedicate all her strength to fighting the cancer.
I do not know whose insurance she was covered by prior to he leaving her job.
I assume her close friends are setting her up with a subsidized ACA plan. Their income isn’t very high even before she left her job.
My question: Does the ACA allow her to buy her own subsidized insurance via the exchange if it is possible for her to be added to her husband’s insurance instead?
I’m told the employer insurance is less beneficial than what the close friends can arrange for her.
I also suppose the friends may be lining her up with a full-price, more robust, off-exchange policy.
Thoughts?
