Without wishing to sound heartless here, but why is that she doesn’t have any health insurance? Either she can afford it or not. If she can’t afford it, then she most likely qualifies for Medicaid.
Even if a person is working they may make too little to buy insurance privately but too much to qualify for ACA subsidies. And if you can’t work even worse. The one size fits all subsidy approach doesn’t factor in the cost of living in northern NJ. I know the state has programs as well but making ends meet isn’t easy around the tri state area.
