Anyone know how to get medical insurance as an Uber driver since you’re an independent contractor. What’s the cheapest alternative?

I used to qualify for medicaid which covered all my psychiatry appointments and full coverage of my medications. sadly, i do not qualify for healthcare from Illinois now that im an uber driver. i’m now stuck and freaking out because my next appointment is in 2 days and one of my prescriptions for my GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) is gabapentin, and it’s over $100 for a months supply even with goodRX.

Not only that- but my psychiatry appointments unreleased cost money and I just don’t know what to do at this point. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
