Any way you can switch to a higher deductible policy with lower premiums?

Re: Healthcare in America..
I very rarely post but feel need to vent.. I am eligible for health insurance under ObamaCare. I am this year fortunate enough to pay only $120 per month for coverage. Suddenly I get notice my premiums will now be $859. I am now appealing this decision and trying to find reason why. All pertinent docs for 2016 and 2017 were submitted. In fact they just did a review of documents and said I was eligible for tax credits. This is someone who has gross of approx. $48k per year and net income profit/loss of 29k. There is now way in hell I can afford $859. So now I find myself in limbo whilst everything is reviewed. I cannot afford to pay the $859 for this month's premiums. I have grace period of 30 days and if premium is not paid by 6/30/18 I lose coverage. Appeals can take up to 90 days. I have asked for expedited appeal but who knows if it will be granted. If I do have to pay the $859 then I will have to go without insurance as I simple cannot afford it. Venting done..

And how do you pay for ongoing care? An ER only has to stabilize you by law and then can ask for up front payment for further care.
