Hi. I'm looking for information on my VA health care coverage.
No problem. The affordable care act was created to the health care cost and expand access to coverage.
================
Thanks. then. Oh, i was wondering if that coverage is according to ACAs minimum essential coverage requirement?
Yes, it is. Our health coverage is designed to meet the minimum essential coverage requirements for 2018.
Were you signed up for one of the programs offered?
No, i wasn't.
In any case, could you tell me which are those programs you are talking about?
No problem. For example, you have the VA healthcare program.
I see. That kind of information is always useful. So, if i'm enrolled in one of those, ma i have health coverage then?
That's correct. If you're in one of those programs, effectively you have coverage.
================
Good, good. Oh, i heard the other day that you don't have to pay any penalties for not having health insurance anymore. Is that right?
You're right. Starting in plan year 2019. The individual shared responsibility no longer applies.
