ABS CBN: 600,000 Asian Americans in California Eligible for Obamacare

CATEGORIES

DoctorsBeginning Tuesday, the uninsured can begin applying for subsidized insurance through the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare.

 ABS CBN reports that 14 percent of Filipino Americans are uninsured and as many as 600,000 Asian Americans are eligible for Obamacare in California.

“I hope it’s still actually affordable,” said 29-year-old Alex Montances.  “I’m just barely making my bills so I’m hoping that even if it’s the cheapest insurance they have out there I’m hoping that it doesn’t put me over the top and I’m not even able to make my bills or rent. I hope it’s cheap enough and accessible to our community even if it’s for 20-something year olds like me who have been without insurance for a couple years now.”

The uninsured have until January to sign up for health insurance or face a penalty.

The Kaiser Family Foundation has a great calculator that will help you estimate your cost for subsidized insurance. You will also find answers there to many of your questions about the Affordable Care Act.

In California, you can enroll for subsidized insurance at www.coveredCA.com
