A person over 65 can, effective last year, purchase insurance through the exchanges. Hmmmm. Perhaps I missed something, or forgot. But I've searched and can't find anything to support that. The first return from my search was from Washington State and is dated this year. "I'm currently not on Medicare -What if I’m over age 65 and don’t qualify for Medicare – can I buy a plan in the Exchange? If you are over age 65 and aren’t eligible for Medicare (you’ve been in the U.S legally for less than 5 years), you may buy a plan in the Exchange. -I’m about to turn age 65 in a few months and will be eligible for Medicare, should I buy a plan in the Exchange? If you’re about to turn 65 and you currently don’t have health insurance, you can buy a health plan in the Exchange. However, when you officially enroll in Medicare, you’ll need to drop your Exchange plan." This is from obamacarefacts.com "You can’t get a non-Medicare plan if your over 65"
