Part of Obamacare is to get more people on private insurance.
If you don't have insurance, and you don't have money, your options may be a $1200 ER visit you can't afford, or a $300 doctor visit you can't afford. You can't afford either, so you might as well go to the one that is set up to accept walk-ins.
If you have insurance, a new option is added - a doctor visit with a $20 copay.
Not everyone will take advantage of it. The people you'd rather not get into, perhaps. But many will. Once the hurdle (sometimes mental as much as financial) of getting enrolled is overcome, it's much easier to do it.
