In the US as a freelancer, you generally either:
(a) Have a plan bought on an ACA marketplace (pretty expensive and not very good)
(b) After you leave a full-time job, a government program called COBRA means you can still maintain your relationship with your old health care provider for 18 months, except you have to pay all the premiums your employer formerly paid (generally better coverage than an ACA plan, but way more expensive)
(c) Have a spouse whose plan you can be on, or be on your parents' plan if you're under 26
