The pilot program, designed to weed out wasteful, “low-value” services, amounts to a federal expansion of an unpopular process called prior authorization, which requires patients or someone on their medical team to seek insurance approval before proceeding with certain procedures, tests, and prescriptions. It will affect Medicare patients, and the doctors and hospitals who care for them, in Arizona, Ohio, Oklahoma, [...]

Health Insurance Tax Credit
The health insurance tax credit you qualify for is based on the number of dependents on the your tax return, not the number of people applying for coverage.
