What are my health care options if you’re not a US citizen?

Hello, I am 23 years old from Florida and I am going through a health scare that has made me want to research my options for health insurance. Like the title states i am not a US citizen, I posses workers authorization and an SSN (from DACA). Up to this point I have been completely ignorant of how health care works in the US but from a google search it seems DACA recipients are ineligible for ACA or medicaid, etc, correct? So my only options are buying private health insurance (which I heard is ridiculously expensive although I have not applied to any companies) or obtaining health insurance from my employer. Now the catch is that even though I have been employed and given health insurance by an employer in the past. I am currently self employed running a shop all under my name where I am the only registered member/employee. Could I use this to my advantage to try and obtain health insurance for my company and then list myself as an employee? would that be any help compared to outright buying private insurance as an individual?

I really want to find something within the next couple of weeks if possible since I am experiencing some slight discomfort in my boy bits that I really want to get checked out as soon as possible but I feel like going to the emergency clinic uninsured is not the way to do it. Thanks
