The Amish are very independent and like to be left alone. If they are self-employed in farming, they probably don't have big incomes. They are frugal people who live within their means.
But required health insurance will surely be a budget buster. And I can't imagine them going down to the local welfare office to ask for a subsidy. I can't imagine their being too happy to have to reveal their income and assets to the "English" in their communities, or perhaps having to pledge the family farm to repay the subsidy when they die, ending the farming tradition for their families.
