The only exemptions are short gaps in coverage while transitioning to another insurer and if the person lives in a non-Medicaid expansion state and his/her income is less than 100% of poverty. California is a Medicaid expansion state so the only exemption that might apply is the short gap between switching insurers. With this in mind more than likely whomever tested positive for HIV should have insurance and that insurer is responsible for the bulk of this performer’s HIV medical care costs. The days of performers having to go to a charity such as AIDS Healthcare Foundation for care are virtually over (unless the Tea Party has its way later in the current Congress). If the performer was stupid enough not to carry an Obamacare or employer medical insurance policy that is on him and he will likely not receive treatment until the next Obamacare insurance enrollment period or until he qualifies for Medicaid (the income ceiling in CA for that is 138% of poverty) unless he can pay for it out of his pocket. I don’t know if AIDS Healthcare Foundation is still taking uninsured charity patients from CA now that Obamacare has taken full effect or not. As much as I hate Michael Weinstein’s attempt to run porn out of CA and the rest of the US I will give him credit where it is due, AHF has assisted many AIDS patients in obtaining and paying for their care but with the Obamacare law hopefully whomever tested positive for HIV this time won’t need to “go to the dark side” to obtain treatment for his VD.

Of course performers have no health insurance unless they pay for it themselves so this means this unfortunate person will have to turn to medicaid (or some other similar program). Whatever happened to the Union?
