if you are at an income level where you are impacted by the failure of Va to pass the Medicaid expansion, as you indicate.

Or I might not understand your situation and you really are in a "gap" that can exist even post-subsidy in states that didn't expand Medicaid--but you might look into it, and the barrier might not be as high as you think.

(Which, by the way, that medicaid non-expansion should be remedied by organizing and voting the "no" voters out of office, not applauding the scrapping of O-care for something that will take even more people off the insured rolls.)
