I could not afford that when i was working?????

Any suggestions or advice, I appreciate
I am in this same dilemma. I have not had medical insurance since 2009. I just cannot afford it. I rent but that does not make any difference. Watch out for that obamacare. I have heard from several computer tech people that the site is easy for hackers to get into and get your personal info. I made $ 11, 000 last year. I am slightly over the poverty level. The gov. says I can afford it. My share would be $50 a month for the premium. That does not count the copays, coinsurance, deductibles, drug copays. Has the gov. forgotten we are in a recession? I am having trouble just paying for basic monthly everyday expenses. I do not have an extra $50 per month.
Thanks for this!
