Obtaining and paying for health insurance has been hugely stressful for me.
It will be at least another 14 years before i am eligible for Medicare. And I am not physically able to work full time. I’ve been a SAHM for 20 plus years and just went back part time.
Any suggestions?

Also a SAHM for 20+ years. Ex was ordered to pay my health insurance after the divorce. He did but while changing jobs and with covid, he left me without health insurance twice and didnt notify me. Found out when I went to the Dr.
Can you imagine? At 62 years old, before immunizations were available and he left me without insurance during a pandemic and neglected to let me know.
I went to the health connector and found great insurance with 144$ monthly premium. It was actually better than the insurance I now have with my healthcare job.
Because you have a change in situation you can get health insurance through the connector at any time, you dont have to wait for the fall. They will take your part time employment and work the numbers. You can get insurance.
After 40 years, ex turned into someone I didnt know and couldnt trust anymore. Divorced. 1/17

My heart goes out to you. I'm not American, so I often forget the added stress of health insurance when factoring in whether to D or R. I've often read posters talk about losing coverage if they end their M, but I cannot imagine adding that stress to an already stressful situation.
I don't know your system, but is there any program or even compassionate organization you could approach?
I'm an oulier in my positions.

Have you checked your state's health insurance exchange? Google "connecticut health insurance exchange" to find it.
I have insurance through California's exchange, and it's not great, but at least I have it.

When I got D 10 years ago, it was a federal law that a divorcing spouse was offered COBRA at my xh rate for 18 months! I’m thinking the law is still the same. I could choose everything or just medical.
Also, search Marketplace in your state. Bc you only work part time, it’s possible you’ll get the subsidy. I’m not sure if you get it monthly or when you pay taxes. In my state, my 2 divorced friends are on BCBS for $130.00 a month. One pays nothing monthly, the other one pays it and gets the premium refunded at tax time.
