What if you can't afford it?

Sorry, just spent ages writing more detailed then I am guessing a twitch sent it into the ether...but I am having difficulty funding health insurance ( ACA was a waste of time ) let alone diagnosis let alone treatment.

I am very concerned to keep a roof over my head, I have no family who are able/willing to help and there is little homeless provision for anyone in Texas unless you are prepared to have nothing ever again...in fact until I'm 62 I'd probably be offered a hostel bed if I was homeless.

Fortunately I am self-employed and can still work. If I were employed I'm sure employer would have terminated me for being sick way before now. So I would have had insurance but probably lost it!

I feel like Catch 22...I'm not used to or comfortable with situations where there are no solutions.

Has anyone else felt this, and does it put you off seeking necessary treatment?
