medical insurance after divorce?

I divorced 2 yr ago. I'm still coverd by my ex husband's medical insurance. My doctor has just found that I have some abdominal problem. I have to take an ultrasound and biopsy after Thanks giving. This is the earliest appointment that doctors can provide. My ex will re-marry next weekend and he is going to remove me from his health insurance. I can not afford COBRA. One of my frineds was in the same situation and she went to ER 1 month after her ex's remarry. She got about $7000 bill for ER. The company where I work does not provide any health insurance. It's not easy to get a full time job. I still have a small kid who I can not leave him alone at home. Should I wait to take any examine until I join other insurance ? What should I do ?

1. Explain the situation to him and see if he can wait or at least help you with the COBRA payment. Another option is if your income is low enough, you could qualify for assistance.
