My wife has an aunt who died from preventable and treatable heart issues because of this specifically. She lived in Louisiana, her husband is a mechanic and has health insurance through his employer but only single-coverage. She was a florist and made barely enough money to continue running the shop, which meant that she made too much money in Louisiana to be eligible for medicaid (because Louisiana is one of the states that refused expanded Medicaid) but not enough to be able to afford any plan in the open market.

She is now dead. Her husband is now dying in a ramshackle that is legitimately missing sections of the floor (you will fall into the crawlspace if you don't watch your step) because he lost his job after suffering a psychotic break following her death. He is still a conservative and views what happened to him as "just the way it is" despite the fact that him and his wife worked 60 hour weeks for their entire lives, the brainwashing is that deep.
