Signs of a heart attack in women
I have been having chest pains on and off for a while now. Some sites say it can be nothing and some say it is very serious. Thanks to obamacare I no longer have health insurance so I need to be really convinced I NEED to go to the doctor before I spend money I do not have. Can you help me decide what to do?

Chest pains, even if they seem to come & go, are nothing to mess with. Don't rely on the internet for answers. It may be nothing much or it may be a heart problem. Left untreated it could get worse or even become harder & more expensive to treat. Most places will make payment arrangements with you. It is something you need to do.

You should see a doctor.
You should also take another look in the what's available to you under ACA. You might not agree with the law, but it does have provisions to help the vast majority of people access insurance. Some states have made it harder to find out what those provisions are. Some states have even rejected parts of the law, leaving some people without access, but the ACA itself left a hell of a lot of doors open. It might not be simple for you to find them, but they are almost definitely there.
If your insurance plan was cancelled because it didn't met the really basic requirement the ACA set out, there are programs specifically for people in that situation to help. You could even get a “hardship exemption” and you may not even face a penalty if you didn't me the deadline, but you have to reach out for those services.
It's tough to give any precise advice without knowing your state, but you could look the questions here and see if they can direct you correctly:
