I was facing being uninsured as well but it was due to my Cobra expiring. I don't know what I would do without insurance as I have had to have so many surgeries. I did sign up for HIPPA coverage which is individual insurance but at a higher price due to the higher risk of payments for them. Not sure if you might be able to sign up for that and if it might be cheaper for you.
