Here is my situation:
I will be quitting a full-time job this year to start medical school. My wife will only be working part-time so that she can take care of our two kids. I need affordable healthcare. We will definitely have a low-income but we will also have alot of assets tied up in home equity and retirement accounts(IRA's). I'm not sure if our assets will exclude us from "low-income" health insurance. Does anyone out there know about the different options a student has to cover his/her spouse and kids for medical insurance? I know I can get relatively inexpensive health coverage for myself through the medical school but rates for the family are high(around $500/mos). Thank you,
Scott
