   Undocumented immigrants cannot get health coverage through the  Affordable Healthcare Act. You will not be penalized or fined for not having purchased health insurance. If you are part of a mixed family where  one member is a U.S. citizen and may be eligible for the healthcare exchange there are some circumstances where they may be included on the family policy.  Undocumented immigrants  can get limited services for an emergency medical condition through Medicaid, if they are otherwise eligible for Medicaid in the state.
   There are private companies who  sell  health insurance to undocumented immigrants  including companies who offer global insurance.The global companies usually require that you have not been in the country more than a year or have a special visa. It is very affordable and good in the states and if you travel outside the country.
