" If blind you are likely able to get supplemental security insurance (ssi) which has no previous employment obligation and is a first cousin to social security disability insurance for income. Both are gotten through the social security administration which provides your husband's ssdi income. You would then likely also be able to recieve other state income support as well as federal food stamps etc. to help. Each state has public health insurance of some kind that is free or nearly so or has only a charge almost certain to be less then you pay for private insurance. This can be medicade or other state plan. Most have an income level threshold which given you and your husband's income will be met.
