<prompt> Human: one of my friends is in a really horrible financial situation and might lose healthcare and i was wondering if anyone had any advice.theyre in chicago age 23 if thats relevant.Well, currently earn about 1500month.Registered on healthcare.gov.And even with my tax credit, the cheapest monthly premium on a plan that includes my psychiatrist and therapist would be 200month.In addition to any co-pays and such.Or I could pay less, but have only one or none of my doctors covered, and an obscenely high deductible.I currently dont have insurance at all, and when I get sick.. well... I just hope for the best, I guess.But I really need counseling and primary care.Vision would be nice, since my contacts are over 300year, but Im being realistic.So I dont know what to do.Because the window to get care closes in 4 days.But also even if I get a plan, Im not sure Ill be able to pay anyway, neither the high premium or the high out-of-pocket costs from a high deductible.So what do.Also, yes I did declare person living with them as a dependent.Apparently the premium should still be 13 of my monthly income, when rent is already over 60.theyre also the sole income earner in a 3 person household but can only mark one of the others as a dependent for various reasons. they are forgoing pretty important medications atm for financial reasons.theyre currently looking for better employment and it has been brought to our attention that they might actually qualify for medicaid? idk where the confusion was but they previously believed they did not qualify so theyre going to apply for that and hope for the best.ive also linked them to the health insurance section of the wiki on this subreddit, and a search of the insurance flag.  <response>: Way too much info is missing here. You say he might lose healthcare but his message suggests he has no coverage now.Is he able to be claimed as a tax dependent of anyone?Is he really a 3-person tax household? If hes claiming a third person as a dependent, is that person really a dependent qualifying relative or qualifying child? What is the income of each person in the tax household?Why isnt he eligible for Medicaid?Has your friend examined the Silver plans available to him if not eligible for Medicaid? Is he sure his preferred doctor and therapist are out of network from all the Silver plans?How much is he willing to have to pay to be able to use his preferred doctor and therapist?
