This means there is no up front fee, no subscription, no insurance requirements. Someone with no money or bank account should be able to receive non-emergency care without needing to pay.
This does not include the existing low fees some people pay for prescriptions, dentistry, opticians, and similar things in place today (4/1/23).

This muddies the water on this market quite a bit. Many countries (even America!) have free healthcare for the truly destitute.
Absent that I would be putting manna on NO here because I think it is very likely that additional fees are introduced (eg a charge for missed appointments, the option to co-pay for weight loss injections for those not otherwise eligible, etc) but I think that people with "no money in their pocket" will be exempted from these charges. It will be those with "some money in their pocket" who are hit with these.
