I can appreciate the problem here, but right now, the majority of the layoffs seem to be furloughs in the service industry and I'm betting they already weren't getting health insurance besides what they received from ACA.
This is one thing about a Single-Payer "Socialist" system that most Americans just <i>can't</i> get their heads around.<p>The big excuse in the US is that the country couldn't afford it. But many other tiny, poor countries <i>can</i> afford it in some way or other, to ensure that <i>everybody</i> has access to some form of cheap medical care that won't bankrupt you.<p>With Single-Payer, <i>everybody</i>, whether employed or homeless has access to basic medical care. Usually that basic medical care can even provide ICU services, and at no cost to the patient.
