People working low skill/low pay jobs would be better off with govt single payer system. Such people are pretty stupid to vote for Trump who supports
old status quo of emplyer-provide health ins, as emplyers refuse to provide health ins to pawn class of workers.

YES but I won't out them by name as I don't have their permission...
Several acquaintances did not exactly lose their jobs they just had their hours from full time cut below the 32 hour threshold for insurance
requirements on the employer. And then when they went for a second job because they couldn't live on the reduced hours they were only offered such as
6 hours (Walmart) or a required 30 hours. The result is several of my friends work 3 jobs (none providing insurance thus money out of their pocket for
such) or work 60 plus hours to maintain their life style (of course that raises their wage and requires a greater percentage of the insurance they
purchase paid for).
On the other hand...my friends who own small businesses (Donut shop, Construction, etc.) cut the hours of their staff and hired more PART TIME
employees to cover the hours cut for staff all to avoid the unaffordable position of providing insurance which essentially would come from their
paycheck (profits). Their own workload increased under this because now they handle more employees to do the same amount of work.
Does that answer your question?
