We live in MA, just my husband and myself. He works and makes enough each month to pay the rent and bills...That's it! I do not work because of a disability. Even though the amount he makes each month is a little over $1,000 less than the maximum amount one can make, according to MassHealth, when I called them...

Wow...I would pay the $200. Where I live, you're lucky if you can get health insurance for $700/month for a married couple.

I'm not sure what kind of job your husband has, but he could try to find another job that offers health insurance. Even still, at my last job we had to pay $198/month for our insurance and that was with the company paying 80/50. If your state forces you to have health insurance, I would move!
