"Affordable" Health insurance

[JPowell]

I've been unemployed for quite sometime, and even when I was working my income was quite low to support a family. My son has been on state insurance for the last few years and I can't get coverage for anything but birth control.

My significant other's employer also recently canceled their health insurance at work (without warning) because he couldn't afford to pay the insurance company any longer.

Is there any provider out there that actually offers genuinely affordable insurance rates for single men and single women with a child?

I'd like to get on a real insurance plan instead of state services and I have started working in a self employed manner but I can't afford to spend hundreds of dollars on insurance for myself or for my family.

Any tips or suggestions?
