Ironically, if you’re FPL is that low, you’re not really going to have a lot of “estate” for the goobermint to take from you.

Not true at all. Many Expanded Medicaid enrollees have estates values in the hundreds of thousands. Incomes can be curtailed, you know.

Technically, I'm way under the federal poverty level with very little to no income. I own my property free and clear.

Income can have very little to do with assets.

You can live in a house that your grandparents built, on land that your grand-grandparents purchased. How much do that house and that land cost? A lot of money; but that's just numbers on paper. If you don't work the land you can be poor enough to get the "free" medical insurance.

You can get to that situation even if you are a billionaire. Just buy a few tons of gold, for all your money, and stash it in the basement. Do not sell; just let it sit there. You will have no income, but you would be still rich, and confiscation of your assets would be very profitable. Your time on this Earth may be limited by the people who will "proactively" clear the way in order to rummage through your valuables.

It's very dangerous to have people who can kill you *and* benefit from doing so. This was the case in Russia, in 1920's, when roving bands of Bolsheviks tortured people and robbed them of all that they had. Then they shared the gold with the state, in exchange for legal and military support.

People who contact health.gov are being pushed on to Medicaid without their knowledge or assent, and once on it they cannot get off. The safeguards in place in state Medicaid agencies are not given in the Obamacare enrollment.

Don’t bet on it, I know some people who are land poor.

They own land they can hardly pay the taxes on and do not want to sell it off to pay taxes.
