Not so.
The way Obamacare will supposedly work when it all is active is that people making under a certain amount of money will basically be pooled into the Medicaid system. A guy who is ill and unemployed would qualify for that.
""Starting on January 1, 2014, all low-income, non-elderly and non-disabled individuals will be eligible for Medicaid," the plan says. "This includes unemployed adults and working famlies ? all people with income below $29,000 for a family of four (133% of poverty)."
