If you’re wondering how the new healthcare legislation affects the health insurance coverage available to you, California Healthcare Foundation may have the answer. CHCF has created some hypothetical scenarios for individuals in various life situations, and listed the options available now and in 2014.

Are you 22 and scraping together a living with part-time jobs? Maybe you’re a low-income 37 year old who’s not eligible for Medicaid and doesn’t know what to do. Or you’re a married 45 year old with children who can’t afford your employer’s coverage. Are you 50 or 60 years old with a pre-existing condition and thinking about starting your own business, or unable to afford high-risk pool premiums?

If any of those situations strike a chord, check out CHCF’s guide to coverage now and in the future. They’ve done the digging into the thousands of pages of legislation, so you don’t have to.
