Well obamacare is meant to bridge those gaps, so that’s why i’m wondering whether one can purchase a legal plan for an immigrant elderly parent who is here becuase his/her kids have immigrated here, and too old and frail to be left alone in their home country.

Yep. It is particularly true in states that opted out from expanding medicaid coverage. In those states, people earning below FPL, don’t qualify for any subsidy and have to pay the full amount of the premium. They are exempt from the requirement of insurance, but still, the people who need most assistance are unable to buy insurance.
