So, I would suggest that your daughter's situation is not remotely similar to having no insurance.

I'm not dogging on her insurance. I asking about the family with no money to pay a doctor who was the strawman for ACA. That family went to the emergency room as it had no choice. If that family has a $3000 deductible are they not going back to the emergency room? I thought a goal of ACA was to reduce waste like that?
