What do I do if I cannot afford Health Insurance?

My security job use to provide healthcare through them for only $15/monthly and it would be taken out of my check. Once the new law for healthcare was passed my employer stopped doing healthcare December 31st, 2013. I only make $10/hr getting paid bi weekly. I make $800 before taxes and $648 is what I take home after taxes. My rent is 475 my car note is $397/monthly my full coverage car insurance is $170/monthly my electric bill is $80/monthly my cell phone,cable/internet bill is $180/monthly I am a full time college student who spends about $50-$60/monthly on food and all I have left is usually $70 for gas. It's hard enough for me right now and the cheapest coverage i found was $110. I don't have that money so where the hell am I going to get an extra $1,328/yearly to pay for this? This is so stressful. I work too hard for my money as if they don't already take enough taxes out of my check, when I get my refund i look forward to it to help me out and now they want to take that away from me too?
