The parent comment was about being tied to a job by insurance. If you quit that job you won't have any income so you will qualify in Medicaid expanded states, where only income matters. And again, if you can't get Medicaid, you qualify for a very low cost ACA plan with very high levels of coverage. Even if you're high income, a silver ACA plan is limited to 8.5% of your income. The ACA has been in place for a decade. There's no reason for low income people not to have insurance these days and people haven't been tied to their jobs by insurance for a decade.
