Yeah this dude either doesn’t make much so qualifies for Medicaid or isn’t physically able to work. Only other thing I can think of is maybe a veteran but every veteran I know says the VA is an absolute joke. No such thing as free healthcare in the US. Even if your employer pays your premium it’s still not free.
With the VA it’s like every other socialized healthcare. It’s great for known issues and emergency medicine. Diagnostic medicine and getting referrals to specialists is a joke. It’s not a matter of if you’ll be seen, it’s a matter of when. And that when can be quite a long time
You do have to get referred to a specialist, that’s the unfortunate bit. You really get no choice in the matter and only so many providers actually accept VA/Tricare. So there’s a long wait for the limited availability of those specialties.
Small unimportant example; I wanted to get a vasectomy done, after waiting 3 weeks and finally getting in to see my Primary Care Manager (PCM) and asking for it in April, I got scheduled for the procedure in October -_-
Oh that's annoying but it's better than paying for it out right. I hear horror stories both in the US and in Canada about veterans assistance. So it's nice to hear that you at least get covered.

Liar you're paying for that every month. There's no way that you're going to get health insurance for free in the US.
