It is so funny[not HaHa] that even to this date, conservatives are so lacking in the basic information of ACA and how it works.

nancy Pelosi famously said "we will learn whats in the law after it passes". Conservatives haven't even done that much. Pelosi was dead wrong...Conservatives are still ignorant as ever after passage of the law.

Sorry,
Currently the dad doesn't get any medical insurance at all from his work. So him and his wife are not covered. But the kids are on medicare/medicate ( not sure which one.....? ) I think. Im not sure what will happen with the new ACA and how that will effect them.
They do however receive food stamps and housing, so they are doing ok despite the circumstances.
