I work at a part-time job & I have no health insurance. How can I find coverage.?

I've already considered going to a private insurance company, but what else is there? P.S. Besides going full-time at my job.
--------------------
Is your employer a member of your local Chamber of Commerce? Sometimes they will offer plans to employees of member companies. It's worth asking your boss! You might also try contacting regular insurance companies and ask them about individual plans for "catastrophic coverage." These aren't typical plans with doctors visits covered, but they do cover you if something really bad happens -- like (sorry, knock on wood) a bad accident, coma, terminal disease. As such, the monthly premiums are much lower than traditional health insurance coverage, and while it doesn't help you day-to-day with minor illnesses, it does buy peace of mind that if something terrible were to happen, you wouldn't have to declare bankruptcy or force your parents to sell their house or whatever. Good luck.
