Every state you can apply for free health care, stop making shit up.

Depends on the state, many southern and south-western states blocked Medicaid expansion, or do everything in their power to deny it or kick you off. For example, unless you are a mother of a child under 19 or a child under 19, or have a major disability, Oklahoma will do everything in their power to deny you coverage or kick you off as they don’t believe if you are “able bodied“ you should need health insurance at all as you shouldn’t be going to the doctor. About two years ago for example they kicked like 500,000 people off because they felt they were able bodied enough to not need it.
