North Carolina did not expand Medicaid, so options are limited. This page should be able to help a bit to give you an idea of what options you may have, but in most cases it depends on what charities in your region offer https://obamacarefacts.com/how-can-i-get-free-healthcare/
PS. New Your is a lot more generous than North Carolina when it comes to healthcare for low income citizens.

You should immediately go to a public hospital (or in a true emergency, any hospital).

I am a 59 yr old female turning 60 this year, living North Carolina. I have been unemployed since 2013, no income and no insurance of any kind. Where can I get help?
ObamaCareFacts.com
North Carolina has not yet expanded Medicaid, thus there are limited options. One option includes community health centers for low cost care https://www.healthcare.gov/community-health-centers/
Another option includes reaching out to look charities and such (or more broadly community programs).
Again, options are limited, and answers are going to be found locally for the most part.
All that said. Calling a public hospital and asking them is always a good call.
Lastly, In emergency situations you should go directly to a hospital and not worry about the lack of insurance.

I liked Obama. It’s crazy to give a premium assist from the u.s. gov’t. to folks with a job paying over 100% the poverty level, but NO help if you earn under that 100% benchmark.
And in MANYstates, they will NOT help anyone, who is a ‘childless’adult
ObamaCareFacts.com
Yeah, it wasn’t supposed to be that way, but years of the ACA being fought in the courts has really diminished the ability of the law to function as it was intended. This was one such result.

I have a serious condition that obviously needs to be diagnosed and treated before it gets worse than it already has. I can’t work because of said condition and I can’t get medical care if I can’t work. I live in Texas, so no expanded Medicare… I’ve exhausted every avenue and I don’t know what to do.

Unfortunately the answer depends on which state you live in. See here: https://obamacarefacts.com/obamacares-medicaid-expansion/

i have no job so no steady income will I get penalzed on taxes?
ObamaCareFacts.com
It depends on your total annual household income. If it is above 100% of the poverty level, you generally owe a fee. With that said, there are many exemptions. One exemption is triggered if you make less than 138% of the poverty level and apply for Medicaid and get rejected. You should contact the marketplace so you can better understand your options.

I lost my job ,money ran out can’t afford health insurance. Just don’t know what to do.

Apply for Medicaid in your state. If you live in a state that has expanded Medicaid, you’ll qualify for it. If your state hasn’t expanded Medicaid, then your denial letter will exempt you from the requirement to have insurance or owing the fee. Also, if your income is below the filing threshold for the year, you’re automatically exempt even if you file in order to get any refundable tax credits you may be eligible for. If you end up being exempt (instead of covered by Medicaid) you can either go without insurance or you can try to find a catastrophic plan which will provide you with certain preventative care (required by ACA) at no cost before deductible and ensure you have cap on out-of-pocket expenses in the worst-case-scenario.

Donna Russell
I have no job and no health insurance what can I do to be able to get health insurance
ObamaCareFacts.com
Two of your best options are always going to be call healthcare.gov and call your state medicaid department. I would also suggest contacting a local public hospital. Its not that there is no answer, it is that there is a range of answers depending on where you live and your specific situation.

My son has been living out of this country for 2 1/2 years and is 28 coming back to MA and has no job as yet and no health insurance How can he get mass health ? He has no job prospects and no money and hopes to get something part time but will never make a lot
Tom
Don’t come back to this country. The Republicans don’t care.

What part of NO money or No job do you not understand!!!!!!

I know this can be frustrating, and that is why Medicaid is supposed to be expanded to all low income adults in all 50 states. The truth is many states rejected the measure, almost all our GOP led states. There is no good answer because of this, and forces us to constantly finger point at the GOP, who could be enacting their own state-based plans like other GOP states but are instead still fighting without giving their constituents a clear message as to why they wont expand healthcare to them.
I would check with local assistance programs to see if there is something area specific.

Hello, I am a 22 year old senior in college, majoring in Education EC-6. This semester I will be a full time intern, meaning I will be working full time with no pay or heath benefits whats so ever. My problem is I really need to see a doctor, but have no insurance because I truly can not afford it. Is there anything that might be of help to me that I am unaware of? I feeling helpless.
ObamaCareFacts.com
Never like to hear a story like that. Options include plans the college offers, short term / traveler’s insurance, and Medicaid (if you live in a state that expanded Medicaid). You can also show up at a public hospital and see if they can help. In an emergency no one is turned away at a public hospital.

Hi. Yes I need help. I do not have a job due taking care of a boyfriend with major disabilities from an accident who has ssi help. He was way to sick I was late to work oversleeping helping him late at night with screaming pains. I have no money no insurance. I myself need insurance
ObamaCareFacts.com
Public hospitals, local assistance, state medicaid office, and healthcare.gov can all assist you. It doesn’t mean you’ll find a solution, but these are the right avenues.

If and when you know you will lose coverage apply for marketplace coverage within the special enrollment timeframe.

I just lost my job and now I need Insurance but have no job to pay for it with. what can i do?
ObamaCareFacts.com
You should be able to move to Medicaid if your state expanded. Apply and get a rejection letter if not. You can get tax credits based on projected income for the year. So if you can pay a little and project to make at least 100% FPL then you should be eligible for tax credits with lots of assistance.

Georgia refused to expand ObamaCare and has left about 400,000 Georgians with no health insurance (Medicaid expansion). ObamaCare was supposed to cover you, but if you can figure out how to make an income of 100% of the poverty level you can still get assistance by using the Marketplace.
You may still have health options through community health centers, charities, and other local assistance options. You can ask for help at a local public hospital and seek care at a local public hospital in an emergency.

Use public emergency rooms for nonsense things? Talk about worsening the situation. You go to emergency departments for EMERGENCIES. Don’t encourage the type of behavior that abuses the system where hospitals can’t turn you away. It hurts EVRRYBODY.
