Hello, I’m in need of some advice. I had my first baby in 2021 and stopped working to stay home with her. My husband provides for us and we get by but can’t afford a huge insurance payment so i haven’t had insurance for the last year. I am (happily) 5 weeks pregnant and i just applied for Medicaid, my daughter gets it but i was only given the tax credit. Which was a good one, $512 a month and i could definitely get a good plan with that. Now the issue is when i went to the marketplace to pick a plan and apply i am outside of the enrollment period and do not have a qualifying life event. So now i have this tax credit i can’t use, i guess? At least that’s what I’m gathering from what I’m reading. I’m freaking out, i have to have insurance to be able to get prenatal care. What do i do? Help.
