I want to Unionize So Bad, but… There’s no fucking way

Trying not to scream and cry right now. Yesterday I had to go home sick because I was throwing up. Later last night, I dropped a bowl so hard on my toe my entire toenail filled up with blood and because I don't have insurance, and can't afford healthcare, my husband put a pin through my toenail to release the blood. My foot hurts so bad today that just sitting make me want to cry. I just got my boss's quote fo rhealthcare coverage. Keep in mind, this job put me JUST OVER the threshold for any governmental care. Alex is my husband. After all our bills and groceries, we have about 200$ left for emergencies, saving, etc. ​ https://preview.redd.it/9k8jmo3jr7za1.png?width=1018&format=png&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=47c9094a565349603273b2dd806e7408c68991fb This insurance… it's not feasible.

This insurance… it's not feasible.
Even with Alex's gramma offering to pay $150 towards our insurance each month, which is a godsend already. Even with that. We still can't afford this.

My choice is to either find a new job with a higher salary to cover the costs of insurance there, or ask them to cut my hours back here enough that we can fit under the government aid threshold again.

I don't know what to do.
