Just because you are covered through the ACA doesn't mean you can afford one. You would still pay thousands up front, after paying as low as $20/month because that's all you can afford apparently, then find out the government covered half of your enormous bill after X dollars. Still either bankrupt or on a 30 yr payment plan.

If you have 5k lying around you probably could have afforded insurance before the ACA. It's up to you what you do with your money
