If you were deprived of vaccines as a child then you should be allowed to visit the doctor and schedule a series of vaccinations to catch up without paying a copay. It seems wrong to federally ban something without a federal solution.&lt;p&gt;There may be ways to get vaccines without coverage that of which I am not aware. How would you even get someone to review your record without being in a network, though? OK, KS, MO, MS, TN, AL, GA, SC, NC, FL, VA, UT, ID, WY, ME, WI, NE and SD have no medicaid coverage for low-income adults [1]. That is probably not a complete list.&lt;p&gt;1. &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.medicaid.gov&amp;#x2F;state-overviews&amp;#x2F;index.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.medicaid.gov&amp;#x2F;state-overviews&amp;#x2F;index.html&lt;/a&gt;</text><parent_chain><item><author>CodeCube</author><text>Fantastic (note that the article mentions (or at least hints at) medical exemptions, which of course makes sense)!
