On someone's belief that HCR can't help her at all...
...there are many provisions in HCR that will still be able to help you. 10,000 more clinics will be opened throughout the US. Not every ailment, treatment requires a doctor, specialist or hospital. I believe payments are based on a sliding scale. Planned Parenthood is much more affordable for Women's stuff.

I seem to remember when I worked temp that after 6 months, I was eligible to get their health insurance. Check it out.

I don't know what your skill set is, but there will be something like 4-million new jobs related to healthcare starting in the near future. You may have to update your skills &/or learn something new... ex. medical billing.

There will be free &/or no-co-pay preventative screenings like mammograms, prostate exams, pap smears, colonoscopies, etc. There are subsidies if you don't make enough money.

If your PTSD is severe enough, you may qualify for disability. Then, you'd be eligible for Medicare or Medicaid.

If you're over 50, stay in touch w/AARP. They may be able to guide you thru the system & see what's available to you. You may also want to visit your Congressperson's office & see if they can give you some suggestions.

I wish you the best.
