Your employer's plan will easily be the best option if you don't qualify for anything else due to income level.

That looks like a canned domestic beer that’s been poured into a cup. Not even worth a $1.

Right, how stupid to expect things (prescriptions, documents, non-locally available goods) to arrive within 10 days of their scheduled delivery date. Super unreasonable in these modern times, I know.

York or Cumberland for sure. If she stays in southern maine, there is a good network of schools that can help care for the child. They are The Margaret Murphy Centers for Children. Highly recommend.

Yeah, my daughter called me out on this. It never occurred to me, which was really stupid on my part.

Maine as a whole has questionable medical care.

I'm a really outdoorsy person. It is mostly farm land on the eastern side of ND where I live. West side is a bit better because we have Roosevelt national park. Maine is just a state im considering moving to because it seems quiet and its close to the ocean. I'll definitely visit before I make my decision.

If your employer doesn't offer insurance, the whole point of the federal exchange is to be able to compare plan benefits and costs without having to call every company. You punch in your info, it will determine subsidies, and give you options and prices.

I've found it difficult to find health care for my needs in southern maine. In proximity to brand new hospitals. I'm gonna imagine if you go past Bangor it's going to be really hard to get a medical team for all of those needs.

Try coming to Maine then because you’d rethink your comment if you’ve been here lol

It will be a big challenge. Maine has a dearth of providers for kids with intellectual disability, especially in rural areas. Some of her medical conditions, which I assume require specialist care, are almost certainly going to require trips to Portland or Boston for management. I would also worry about access to emergency care that is equipped to deal with a kid with these needs. Aside from all that, it may be hard to access services in the school system. I would think really hard about this move.

potions and various concoctions are also very common in major hospitals.

Your best bet is through your employer or through the federal exchange. Through your employer will probably be the cheapest.

When my parents got older, lifelong County residents, had to move to the Bangor area for healthcare reasons. They were going to Bangor so often for care, it just made sense.

You can still use solar without being connected to the grid. In my perfect world I would disconnect from the grid anyway. Too bad I live in an apartment.
