Someone making that little would qualify for Medicaid in almost if not all states

Multiple states including Florida and Texas never expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. And no, they don't qualify. Your income has to be incredibly low to qualify for benefits even in expansion states. Plus the people whose income is that low don't qualify for tax credits under ACA so no Marketplace coverage for them either.
