The obamacare thing was horrible and could only get limited insurance because I was in NJ and could only get regular care in NJ and PA. I was able to get medicare, with coverage everywhere when I was eligible and the f plan, which is no longer offered, I believe. The medical care in this country is all screwed up!
Go to the ER with chest pains and if you are not admitted, there was a 1,200.00 penalty. That and charging people who could not afford insurance a penalty for not having it.
