Why do the poor and uninsured refuse to sign up for Obamacare?

88. There is a reality that the media and commentators continue to miss

and it is this - regardless of a person's actual finances, there are a good chunk of people who need to be hand-held to go through any type of forms-completion process. Whether it's an income tax form, a driver's license form, or even a voter registration form. Sadly, many of these same folks struggle with completing the forms when sitting in an emergency room waiting for care.

The wealthy just pay someone to fill out forms for them. But for others, they need some sort of intervention and there are finally more outreach programs being setup to sit with the person to go through the process (via health fairs, mall kiosks, etc).

The media is just breathtaking in how much they operate in an elitist bubble world filled with esoteric political talking points and distorted reporting of policy positions. The average targeted person on the street doesn't follow politics or cares.

This has nothing to do with whether there is single-payer or nothing at all. Even with single payer, the person would need to be put "in the system" to start some sort of file and that would necessarily require forms completion.
