If i have family insurance with no dental through work, can I get CHIPS or medicaid dental for my kids with the state? 
That is a great question ! You sound like many of the people who found themselves between a rock and a hard place when it came to health insurance . Employers do n't offer dental , because of its expense to them , and if you earn too much , CHIPS and Medicaid are unavailable . Did you look into the Affordable Care Act -LRB- Obamacare -RRB- exchange for the dental policies ? The enrollment period is over , but go to the site www.healthcare.gov and walk through the steps to see if you can still qualify to get a plan . There 's a good chance that you qualify for a subsidy -LRB- hurry , before the Supreme Court decides on undoing them -RRB- to help pay for it . You can also find out whether you can get yourselves and the kids covered by the CHIPS or Medicaid programs . I walked through it using an example of 35 year old parents with two kids , and they qualified on earnings of $ 24,000 a year . The site is user friendly , and quick to tell you whether you qualify . If you need help , contact me and I 'll help you walk through it , okay ? Good luck , and thanks for asking !
