Healthcare Marketplace
I am a full time college student who is dependent on my dad. I need dental care done, but cannot afford it out of pocket. I tried applying to medicare, but they said my dad makes too much and that once I recieve the decline letter for medicaid I should try applying for marketplace healthcare. I am so confused on what this is... i basically filled out the application (still have not submitted it), but like are they going to email me back potential plans I could qualify for? and do I need to pay for these plans? If I do, can I decide not to go through with it? i am not sure how U.S healthcare works and no one in my family has ever been insured so I have no clue. If someone could explain it like I am 5 years old this would be much appreciated... just trying to fix my teeth :/
