Check out this document below. Coverage was available through state insurers. For example, the insurer of last resort for individual coverage was Blue Cross/Blue Shield at rates available to healthy participants. The only provision was that pre-existing coverage was not available for 6 months for those who did not have previous insurance. So worst case, if someone did not have insurance and then became ill, their newly issued insurance would cover them after 6 months, However, if they did have insurance, any company in Michigan could not cancel their insurance.
The misunderstandings of this are immense and mostly have been perpetuated by those who wanted a national health plan paid for by the government. Another benefit, the country can ill afford.
