I’ve never bought health insurance and I can’t afford it

I’m 27 and this is the first time I need to “shop” around for health insurance. I’m a contractor and don’t get it with my work. COVID allowed me to have Medicaid until this month when I was told I don’t qualify anymore. The issue is I can’t afford much of anything. I make an okay amount of money but with my mortage, wedding, school loans, ect. I have MAX $200. I looked at plans and everything for that was listed as a Catastrophic medal.

If there was nothing wrong with me, I’d say whatever and go without, but I take 2 medications daily, see my primary doctor every 3 months, and have blood work done A LOT. If I stop taking my medications, I won’t die but my quality of life would decrease, and I wouldn’t be able to work.

I have until September 1st to find one or my insurance will lap I think. I could try to jump on my fiancés insurance by court house marrying him real quick but he’s in the process of interviewing for a job and may get the offer in a week or 2 or is that even worth it?

Please give advice!
