First contact your Health Department and ask them what they think. Chances are she will be eligible for Medicaid insurance.

You have to go to a medical institution that needs this kind of help and ask them how to set yourself up to do this for them. They will have a way to do this and will setup the program for you. Don't go online searching for this as you will only get the scammers that want to charge you for lists of places that "might" need your services.

I understand your problem. My husband was put in the hospital last year and had emergency surgery and I had past hips surgeys and they won't even give us insurance. I started researching some stuff and found a great site that offers health benefits. It's not insurance but you can save up to 80% on dental and medical benefits and you get free prescription, Free chiropractic and free vision. Best of all it's no more than $60.00 dollars a month for the entire household. That site below will offer and show you have to obtain benefits. \n\nGood luck and I am sorry we all have to deal with the goverment doing this to our families.

If you are in the US talk to your doc or call Joslin Clinic in Boston, MA. They can connect you with Joslin's Angel Network. I read about it in a Diabetes Digest. It said they help uninsured people with getting supplies. Good luck!

actually try the hospital. Ask what the insurance companies pay not the charge. Ask how much it would be to pay cash. They have to a certain amount of charity work, see if you qualify. If you have to get the surgery, the hospital should help come up with a way to pay for it

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.

When it comes to your health, cheap isn't always the best way to go.  What is more important is to check around about the reputation of the surgeon you want to use.  What will cost you even more than the surgeon are the hospital expenses so you might want to check into those as well.\n\nDo you have any low income clinics in your area?  Might be worthwhile to hook up with one of them.  They work specifically with those that don't have money to be sure that they get the health care they need.  It could end up costing you very little.

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.

This is a repeated question but I will put my answer down anyway cause you may really need help.\n\nPlease visit your Member of Parliament for help. He/she will try to arrange for financial assistance. You can use Medisave, to pay for your operation fees which should be subsidized. Since cancer may need additional treatments like radiation and chemotherapy, maybe you like to stress these out to your MP or just ask the hospital for help. Your MP can also write to HDB to try to reduce your rents. There are always many schemes around, you just have to ask the right people.

Apply for the christmas list at your local DHR office....otherwise known as the welfare office....also contact local churches to see what they may have to offer. You may want to check with the Community Service Program in your area (OCAP). Look up social services in the phone book and make some calls. \nBest of luck to you, and I hope your surgery goes well.
