without mitigating circumstances, that means they are not paying taxes. I am not sure if critical coverage should be provided, but not much more.

An income-based tiered system would probably be the least complex to hammer out. Obviously, someone who cannot work is different from someone who can. Then there are families who simply cannot afford the ridiculous rates insurance companies charge (which are out of control).

I, like my husband, would not be alive today had it not been for the ACA. I still work; he cannot. Believe me when I say I don't take this gift for granted.
