Sort of. Health insurance is not guaranteed for all, free of charge, by state or Federal government. Assistance programs are available, but for the average able-bodied and able-minded person, assistance is small or zero.
Health insurance is obtainable at a cost to an unemployed or self employed person. Options include COBRA, Marketplace or private insurance.
Health insurance cover is not a legal requirement, althought it was a legal requirement until recently.
