Health Insurance.
Hi all, Im 18 and soon to be 19 in late August, I was just kicked off my moms insurance and now I am without insurance and have been for around 2 weeks. I dont want to go without insurance and have something happen to me, but I am also barely able to live. I pay student loans and am currently in college, so i’m paying for what Fafsa wont cover too. My car insurance is pretty high, around $400, and my car is constantly breaking down. I live in texas and already hold 2 jobs on top of college, both at $13 an hour. I dont know about employer offered insurance or how to go about it, but Im also part time at both of my jobs since thats all the hours I was able to get. We just moved to Texas from Ohio 2/3 months ago. The cheapest plan I can find it $280/$300, which I can’t afford, I would have to drop out, stop paying car insurance, or stop paying my student loans, none of which I can obviously do. Everyone I’ve been reading about says to look at ACA, but thats where I found the $280/$300 plans. I dont have any health issues, no cancer, very minimal mental health issues, I dont smoke or drink, I go to the doctor maybe every 6 months. I just need advice on where to turn and go next, and before someone suggest it no I can not go onto either of my parents insurance.
