Not stress-free however is the fate of Obamacare itself...... Will Supreme Court come to its rescue? |

When she informs us she's now insured the OP quotes and thanks PF (post 22) - which urged her to go to healthcare.gov

Well OCare has no clear definition, in my State the Exchange can bounce you into Medicaid. Some States allow LPR's access to Medicaid from Day 1. Emergency Medicaid I believe applies to all States and has no qualify residency requirement..

BTW why would the federal/state government consider early pregnancy a Medical Emergency? There are no cost or low cost clinics that she could use but thankfully will not have to because of having healthcare insurance now. |

But stress of affording the premiums is nothing compared to the stress of confronting / paying astronomical costs, for which you're entirely responsible, if struck by unanticipated medical issues when uninsured. On that note I think this is a great thread because.... 1. OP received the help she sought when she reached out here and has apparently resolved her issue. 2. It can serve as an instructive warning to future and new ex-pats: The panic the OP felt when she realized she'd tumbled into an untenable, unexpected, unaffordable situation should be a red flag for any new or future expat. They must take the time to inform themselves and understand how they, personally, will be affected by the confusing conundrum of US health insurance costs and decisions.

And that she now checks what that means, because it doesn't mean NHS-style "everything from here on is provided at no charge to you" coverage.
