    That’s just a fucking blatant lie. Obamacare is free if your income is low enough.

    This is also factually inaccurate. If your income is low enough, then I know from experience that the sign up process for the ACA will redirect you to Medicaid.

    I believe that you believe that you’re telling the truth, but it seems like you’ve been misinformed. In reality, you’ve asked me to disregard my own lived experience and to ignore the evidence provided by my own lying eyes.

    I’m in it. Right now. Trying to get healthcare as a poor person in USA.

    Your replies make it seem like you are not - like you’re out of touch and apparently believe its easier to be poor in USA than it actually is. A poor person in USA can get free healthcare, but you have to stay poor to keep it. If your income grows to about 1 standard deviation below the median, which is still less than a living wage, then you’ll lose access to Medicaid and have to shop for an ACA plan in the marketplace. Those marketplace plans became garbage after the Republicans repealed the important parts of ‘obamacare’.

      Medicaid IS Obamacare. Remember the whole “medicaid expansion” debacle where some states decided not to accept free federal money to stop their own residents from dying, because a Black Democrat was offering it?
