Does Louisiana use Healthcare.gov?
Yes. Louisiana participates in the federally-facilitated Marketplace (FFM), so enrollment and subsidy applications run through healthcare.gov. Louisiana does not operate a state-based exchange.
Has Louisiana expanded Medicaid?
Yes, effective July 1, 2016. Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards signed an executive order directing Medicaid expansion shortly after he took office, making Louisiana the first Deep South state to expand. Adults 19-64 with income up to 138% FPL qualify regardless of parental status or disability, so there is no coverage gap.
Why does Louisiana have parishes instead of counties?
Louisiana is the only US state that uses parishes as its county-equivalent subdivision, a legacy of its French and Spanish colonial heritage. For ACA and FIPS purposes, parishes function identically to counties and each has a unique FIPS code.
