Well, howdy there internet people, it's Bow again. So today we are going to do a

little public service announcement when it comes to what's going on with

Medicaid because there are some changes.

checking again.

be in effect.

eligibility marker meaning they're making just a little bit too much to to

qualify for Medicaid. In that case, going to the Affordable Care Act's

marketplace, you will probably be able to find something there that is relatively inexpensive, certainly
