If you have a disability, you may be eligible for help with health insurance costs. There are a number of programs available to help people with disabilities pay for health insurance.
Here are some resources that can help people with disabilities get help with health insurance costs:
- The Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA provides subsidies to help low- and middle-income individuals and families purchase health insurance. People with disabilities may be eligible for additional subsidies through the ACA.
- Medicaid. Medicaid is a government program that provides health insurance to low-income individuals and families. People with disabilities may be eligible for Medicaid, even if they have other sources of income.
- Medicare. Medicare is a government program that provides health insurance to people age 65 and older, as well as people with certain disabilities. People with disabilities may be eligible for Medicare, even if they are younger than 65.
- State programs. Many states have programs that provide help with health insurance costs for people with disabilities. These programs may offer subsidies, Medicaid coverage, or other types of assistance.
If you have a disability and you are struggling to afford health insurance, be sure to contact your state's health insurance marketplace or your local social services office to find out about the programs that are available to you.
