These are all really good suggestions. As Amaryallis said, insurance has to cover you up until 26 now. I would personally call the insurance place and talk to somebody there, it might just be your mom hasn't heard of what's going on or isn't properly informed.
Besides that, medicaid is pretty good to look into, although it can take a long time to get on. Uh, there's also free/low income health centers, and often they can help to get you medication for a lower price or even free in some cases.
Or, if you're in college/university, they'll probably have some type of insurance that you could look into getting. You have to pay extra to get it, but it's better than not having insurance at all.
If all else fails, try to get in touch with the social services or something and see if they can help connect you to something in your area! :)
