My wife lost most of her income last year due to COVID. She received unemployment for part of the year. I am thinking about filing our taxes separately so that she could use Medi-Cal and save some money (we are both self-employed so we would otherwise be applying for a subsidy through the exchange, Covered California). Does this work, or is a marriage necessarily a “household” when it comes to the exchange?
I am epileptic and need the highest level of insurance. My wife is healthy. We have used medi-cal before and were happy with it.
