Medicaid in Alabama
Alabama has not expanded Medicaid.
Without Medicaid expansion, adults without dependent children may have very limited Medicaid eligibility. There may be a “coverage gap” for people who earn too much for traditional Medicaid but too little for marketplace subsidies. Check your state's Medicaid program for current eligibility rules.
