How many businesses have a profit margin of more than 83%? Even a self-employed musician or actor will have to pay out more than 17% to managers, agents, etc.
If the difference between your MAGI and net was negligible, and ACA helped you significantly, that means you have no real expenses or your business grosses very little and you probably were qualified for Medi-Cal already, but had simply not applied. Either that or ACA is not actually helping you, unless you had a pre-existing condition. ACA does help some people with pre-existing conditions. As you seem to wish to make the issue discussion excessively personal, did you previously qualify for Medi-Cal or have a pre-existing condition?

The issue I am discussing with you is
your personal alleged problems accessing quality health care. Why?
because you specifically asked me how it is possible for you to access quality health care.
So I just want to get one thing straight. Since you said you prefer to pay cash for your health care, you personally have no issues with getting quality health care. You have paid cash for your access to healthcare before Obamacare, and after Obamacare. Do you dispute that?
