<prompt> Human: Hi all,My father was diagnosed with brain cancer glioblastoma last December. He has been on disability through his employer since then, but he hasnt been able to return to work and will lose his health insurance coverage through his employer at the end of this year. My mother is on long term disability and has medicare, so she cannot add him to her plan. The total of their SSI and disability payments put them over the limit to qualify for medicaid, but we were told that he does not qualify for medicare because he has not been on disability for two years yet.Were concerned about losing coverage for him. My sister and I are both employed and have insurance through our employers. We have considered trying to add him as a dependent on our own insurance plans, but it seems like the tax implications of that would outweigh the benefits. Weve only just begun to consider this, however, so if anyone has an insight on that, it would be appreciated.Is coverage through Obamacare the best option for us at the moment? Were pretty overwhelmed at the moment, and were not really sure what steps we should take to make sure he can continue his treatment. Were especially concerned about him having to switch doctors or not being able to receive the same level of care he currently has. Does anyone have experience navigating this or know of any resources we could turn to? Any advice and help would be appreciated! The state is Louisiana, by the way.  <response>: Obamacare should be an option. Theres no pre-existing condition exclusion any more. Your dad might qualify for a subsidy, in which case itll probably be a lot cheaper than Cobra. You could google for Louisiana health care to find your states exchange and from there find the cost of plans. For each plan you could find out if your dads doctors belong to that network.
