Let’s cut to the chase: if you’re one of the many Montanans who just got dropped from Medicaid, it’s not your fault, and you’re not out of luck.
You didn’t do anything wrong. You didn’t mess up. You just started making a little more money (which, last time I checked, was supposed to be a good thing). But thanks to some recent policy shifts, a raise, a new job, or even working a few extra hours can now disqualify you from coverage you’ve counted on. That doesn’t sit right with us—and it probably doesn’t sit right with you either.
Here’s the good news: you’ve got options. Real ones.
What They Don’t Tell You About Losing Medicaid
There’s this unspoken assumption that if you no longer qualify for Medicaid, you must suddenly be able to afford full-priced health insurance.
Spoiler alert: that’s not how it works.
Most people who lose Medicaid are left in this weird no-man’s-land…not poor enough for one system, not rich enough for the other.
But there is a middle ground, and it’s called a Marketplace plan. And with the right guidance, it can work well for you.
Marketplace Plans: Not as Scary (or Expensive) as You Think
Marketplace health plans (also known as ACA or individual plans) might sound complicated, but they’re actually built for situations just like this.
Here’s what we see work for a lot of people in Montana:
✅ You stay covered without gaps.
✅ You might even keep your doctor.
✅ Many qualify for deep subsidies (yes, sometimes even $0/month).
✅ You avoid the “I’ll just risk it” plan, which usually backfires when real life happens.
