They will get insurance, health care not so much. Many of us have struggled with this for decades and know just how the Insurance Companies rig the game. I had top of the line Health Insurance, in a state that had very strict laws (California 1990-2003) and I still lost everything paying for my sons care. I don't mind that and would do it all again to save his life. What I really hate is to see him disabled with chronic pain because of the constant delays in treatments and denials of coverage during the critical stages of his illness. All perfectly legal games the Insurance Industry plays. There are no provisions to criminally prosecute them for these types of practices in this bill, yet there are criminal provisions to prosecute the insured if they should commit a perceived fraud.
