If you have a heart attack can we just let you die .....you know.....since you don't have health insurance? You can't afford a self-pay heart attack.

Lol.. bullshite. I have a friend who rolled the dice. Has a stroke. Made a full recovery. Guess what... the hospital treated him and everything. Is it ideal? No. But he didn't die, wasn't left for dead, got the same level of care as if he had a Cadillac plan and negotiated monthly payments for basically the rest of his life. It's stupid. But it's his choice. One he wouldn't make again, but had the freedom to make.

You say this like it is a bad thing. I do not understand why we think everyone has a right to have their lives prolonged and how dying is a bad thing.
If someone chooses to not have insurance yet has the means to, they will suffer the fate they chose.
If someone cannot afford health insurance, it is the hand they were dealt. May they enjoy the afterlife, because life is just not fair.
I am a believer of there is something after our life on this planet.

So you believe there has never been someone with a heart attack go to the ER without insurance and survive? Amazing.

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

If you can afford a semi-luxury vehicle, you can afford a self-pay heart attack pretty easily. My father in law way over paid for a CABG even after I told him how much to offer.
