I had to buy private health insurance myself to cover me and the girls. Sucks. Badly.
Try going in to an office though, and talking to a person face-to-face, if possible. They are more willing to work with you, then, and will try and help out more than if you did it, say, over the phone or online.

I know about this well. I pay for my own. It's bare bones basic insurance, and it costs me $118 per month. It only covers catastrophic stuff over 5k. If you have an insurance agent for other types (auto, etc...) go to him/her and ask about it.

Some states have programs that are under the heading of medicare/medicaid, but are actually HMO/PPO structured. In NY, it's called either CDPHP (if you're in the capitol region), HIP, or HealthyNY. They're low-cost insurances, originally designed to cover kids under the age of 19 (for free), but eventually expanded to (paid) coverage of any qualified adult.
If you have any military ties, you might qualify with USAA. They just teamed up with a health insurance company and, while costly, it still looks better than other plans I looked at.
