You need to get on medicare and medicade, Honey. Also, you might try posting on www.favorville.com. It's a site where people ask for and do favors for each other. Please apply for medicare if you need it. Also, if you need to go to the emergency room, they have to help you, insurance or not. God bless, and you're in my prayers.

Get their own insurance.  Go to the hospitals get treated work out a payment program.  Hospitals are required to treat people even if they are indigent so us taxpayers pick up the bill anyway

Be upfront about not having insurance, and some hospitals will give you financial assistance or a sliding scale fee. There are also sliding scale clinics out there, so ask around for them. My husband owes his life to a hospital that was willing to offer us financial assistance, so I know how overwhelming and frightening this can be.

On a smaller scale, there are probably more local options out there to help you secure the proper medications that you need without causing so much financial strain. Talk to your doctor about samples. Most doctor's offices have closets full of samples of prescription meds laying around to hand out to there patients. Ask your doctor if any of the meds you are taking are there. I am sure he / she will be willing to help. \n\nAnother option is to consult with your local health department. Many health departments / public health service providers offer options for medication assistance to those in need. Ask if your local department has a "Pharmacy Access" or "Pharmacy Assistance" program in place. These programs will help those with the need for assistance in securing prescription medications at low / no cost. Normally, the only requirement for inclusion in these programs is falling within a specific income bracket. Have proof of your income ready when you inquire to make the process go faster. Some programs may differ and may have other requirements / criteria that have to be met. \n\nGood luck and best wishes...

A lot of cities have clinics that provide free or sliding scale services.  One in our area is Visiting Nurse Assoc.  Call hospitals to see if they have any places they could refer you to.

If it is truly end stage, and you cannot afford insurance, then contact your local medicade office. They may be able to help. Or even hospice.

first step... get insurance. you need it. exspecialy after that last question. Then talk to your doctor about medication. until the insurance comes through, see if he has any smaples that you could try. tell him that you dont have insurance, but that you feel like you need something to help you out. Tell him that you dont want to spend money on something that is not going to work for you, so you would like to try a sample product.

A county hospital is your best bet. We med students and internists and residents are always available to help. There is this thing called ATP where you pay 80 dollars and everything else is paid for (i.e. lab work, diagnostic imaging, etc).

Many hospitals offer free care if you qualify. Your local hospital social services department may have an application for this. The social services department may also be able to tell you where there is a free clinic in your area. Give them a call and see what options they have to help you. If you live in a small town call a hospital in the nearest large city to you. If they don't have a program to help you, you can always go to the emergency room. You should not let these medical problems go untreated.

If you can't get to your regular doctor, you could try Medac or another place like that to get one time care.  If you are a student, many schools and colleges have someone you can see.  As a last resort, the emergency room is available, but the cost is high and the wait is long.

Contact Social Services asap, they WILL be able to help you, even the very same day in most cases, especially as you are also becoming ill and stressed with all the pressure being put on you. CPN's are not very good in my experience (I have had a lot of experience)
