　　But for many of the patients that Mission of Mercy sees, insurance through the Affordable Care Act is just not affordable. Stevatte Bryant lost her job and insurance, but since her husband receives government disability benefits she does not qualify for Medicaid. The cheapest insurance she could get would cost $300 a month, which she cannot afford.

　　Ive had insurance all my life. Ive worked good jobs. Ive just had some not so good luck here recently. And you know I have to humble myself to come here, and its because I dont have money, said Bryant.

　　Dr. Sullivan says even with insurance, a hospital emergency room visit to treat Bryants back pain would likely cost close to $1,000.

　　They get an X-ray that they probably dont need. And they probably get told we dont inject things in the ER. Go see this orthopedic doctor. But then when they go to try to see the orthopedic doctor, they cant get in unless they pay some cash up front, he said.

　　Other patients here are undocumented immigrants who dont qualify for any government help. Bianca Aleman from El Salvador is a legal resident but she missed the sign-up deadline for Obamacare because she says the process seemed too intimidating.

　　Because I didnt have too much information. So thats why I didnt apply. But now I came here. They give me more information about [it]. So Im going to try to apply for [it] next year, said Aleman.
