First I would transfer the title to your car to one of your 16+ year old kids, assuming you can trust them. You can always take back a note if you don't.
What County do you live in. I have helped (now) 2 part time employees without assets and without insurance get county assistance and once you get it they will pay for everything, just about.
Re the white spot under your tongue, it could be many things like Leukoplakia, or Lichen Planus but it usually is not cancer. That said it can eventually lead to cancer so it needs to be looked at by at least a dentist if not an ENT.
STOP SMOKING as there is NOTHING beneficial about that habit as many here will attest to it causing their life altering cancer.
