need health insurance

I currently work 3 part time jobs, 7 days a week, 50 hours a week. Something has got to give. Its just too much. The one job i cannot stand is the one that offers health insurance. I am planning to leave this job. As a single woman(i plan on getting married in the coming months), what are my options for health insurance? Im nervous and so unbelievably stressed. This whole "Affordable Healthcare Act" isn't very affordable. I went to the healthcare.gov website and for about $400/month I have to pay a $3000 deductible and get 50% coverage. That doesn't seem like insurance to me.

Toughing it out may not be an option :( During my first trimester I used all of my sick and personal time due to the pregnancy symptoms (even vomited at my desk). My doctor said that he wouldnt sign a form to excuse the absences because they are just a part of being pregnant. Im worried Ill get fired.

I agree with rambler. And totally understand not having insurance. I live in Oregon and since I'm pregnant I can get on the Oregon health plan but it is taking forever!!! I'm almost 10 wks and so far have not been able to get or schedule an ultrasound because its expensive and I need insurance first. If possible can u go to a free woman's health clinic? They either r free or income based....

My advice would be to tough it out at the job you hate since it offers health insurance. Just try to deal with it until you get married and then go on your spouses insurance. You can also continue to look for another job that offers benefits while you are working.
