Affordable Health Care Law

Those too poor to pay a penalty probably already qualify for or have access to health insurance from Medicare, Medicaid, or the military (a lot of the homeless are veterans).

True enough. One usually needs a stable address to receive letters of acceptance and cards to register and remain registered, though, which is difficult for the homeless.

With the subsidies, most should expect a premium of about $19 a month.

What income range is representing "most" here? Everyone I've heard from that was able to get into the system and run their own quotes are claiming quoted premiums in the $500+ per month range, with some considerably higher.
