Isn't that the way it was supposed to be? Don't pay diddley (or pay the fine) until you get sick and then enroll with preexisting?

Problem is you don't get care until you cough up the money. Gonna be a buncha PO-ed people when they get the flu this winter.

Yep. She was told her Medicaid had been cut off. Now whether it was due to the shutdown or what she wasn’t told. I guess if she’d been dying they might not have made her but since it was an ear infection they did.

They called the ER because urgent care said the same thing & I know illegals get treated at ERs without insurance so I told my friend to take her to an ER. Evidently since illegals are allowed to sign up for Zerocare, they’ll get the same answer in the future, who knows?
