not true at all. this varies by state.

aside from the homeless, what about all the people making minimum wage who neither qualify for medicaid, nor work enough to get employer supplied insurance?

sometimes the head in the sand attitude here is fucking sickening

Not by much, and frankly they will get lifesaving treatment regardless whether or not they pay the bill. What is the negative for not paying? Destroying the credit of someone who has effectively no credit anyway? Empty threat.

People making a minimum wage or who are minimally employed can qualify for lower cost affordable healthcare insurance through the ACA. It’s available, whether people take advantage is up to them. I know someone who pays less for their ACA plan than they do for their mobile and Internet services.

Where the ACA fails is more at the middle class family level. That is where the income vs. family plan costs tend to be out of balance.
