I'd say official .gov sites are a good place to start.
So what happens if you go there and they say, "Hey, you need to pay like 50 bazillion dollarz to be covered by Shitty McShitston's Insurance inc that gives you a lollipop and 3 coupons for costco that you don't have a membership for. Thanks for being healthy and able to work!"??
For me, I get free health coverage through the VA for 4 more years which helped me avoid that drama.
There are things like free health clinics, or discounted health clinics and things like that. A lot of companies are doing away with offering insurance because of this whole shuffly mess.
The other option? If you hardly go to the doctors, have a good amount of emergency funding set up just in case, you can just pay the penality of $97/yr which is far cheaper than the $208/month they had offered me for health insurance and just go to the free clinics and/or pay out of pocket for occasional doctor visits and go to health fairs for things like free flu shots and stuff.
Exemptions to the fee:
You’re uninsured for less than 3 months of the year
The lowest-priced coverage available to you would cost more than 8% of your household income
You don’t have to file a tax return because your income is too low (Learn about the filing limit.)
You’re a member of a federally recognized tribe or eligible for services through an Indian Health Services provider
You’re a member of a recognized health care sharing ministry
You’re a member of a recognized religious sect with religious objections to insurance, including Social Security and Medicare
You’re incarcerated (either detained or jailed), and not being held pending disposition of charges
You’re not lawfully present in the U.S.
Basically, if you're a poor person, you're going to be fine no matter what.. use your free stuff and don't pay for stuff. If you're not, just buy the health insurance from the site (easiest) and/or do research on your own to find the best in your state and area (maybe better or a waste of time).
