No, that's not how it works. Poor people who lose coverage from employer-sponsored health plans don't pay COBRA premiums out of pocket. They spend much less to either buy a subsidized health plan on the state exchange or go on Medicaid. The system is a mess but let's not exaggerate the problems.

I can’t imagine getting Medicaid to cover the biologic that I take that costs $5,000 a month without a prescription to be anything other than a nightmare.
