Sorry I thought I did.

<<tell me how this is covered : single person, no dependants, no insurance, and well below retirement age.>>

Ok, I'm a 50 year or 25 year old wino sleeping at the Mission or the Salvation Army housing getting 3 squares a day. Flu shot? Yep I get a free one. Get sick? The emergency room has to take care of me. Drunk and run down by a garbage truck at 8 am, free ride in the hospital paid for by the county.

My wife was trying a new doctor at one of the hospitals and had to wait 2 hours for her appointment because of last minute welfare check ups came first.
