Maybe you should give them a call and find out what's available.
I had an acquaintance in Iowa that did this. They put her on Medicaid. Don't know if it varies by state.
I assume it depends on where each state stands in regards to Medicaid expansion.
Thing is, it appears that BQ's intent on generating a livable income through working. If such is the case, Medicaid probably won't remain an option for her.

But I’m not a group, I’m kinda 🤷🏽♀️ confused
Meaning the prices of the plans are similar to those of small group, employee-based plans rather than individual plans once the tax credit is applied--if you fall within the appropriate income levels. You can work full-time and still qualify for pretty significant cost savings.
