Have you considered shopping for your own health insurance?
It is available. It's not as cheap as on a group plan, and you might get bounced if you have something preexisting - stress probably won't count - but it's better than not having it.
Think of it as an expense that has to be paid, not as something that you can only get if you're doing some certain kind of work.
OTOH, it may be that your current work doesn't pay you enough; that's a different issue. OTGH, I think if you posted a "please pay my insurance costs so I can keep doing this" request, it'd happen.
