County Health nurse or if you need to, an emergency room. They can't refuse you unless they are a private medical facility.

Contact your local United Way or Red Cross agency. They'd be able to point you in the right direction.

IF $$IS A CONCERN TO CAN GO TO YOUR LOCAL PUBLIC AID OFFICE. MOST CITIES HAVE WHAT THEY CALLED A "WELL CHILD/BABY"                                  ' PROGRAM.

Try the Department of Protective and Regulatory Services for your state.  They should have a listing and rating for all licensed child care facilities

yep, just did...that's tough, get the poor little guy some counseling, medical attention, and beat the s_it out of that day care provider, or send him/her to Tx and we'll take care of it free of charge!  seriously, give him lots of hugs and kisses, and take him to do something fun!

http://www.state.tx.us/ has all applicable web sites. You will probably have to pay a charge. I would search there first

Advocacy, Inc., with an office in Houston, provides Elder Law services: http://www.advocacyinc.org/index.htm\n\nAlso, you could contact the Texas Attorney General, the Texas Legal Services Center, or Texas Law Help.  I've included links to all of them below.  I hope these resources help you.

There's no way for her to use her parents insurance without them finding out eventually, so forget that and pretend she has no insurance.\n\nIf she has her own money, nothing is stopping her from going somewhere and paying the bill herself.  If that's not an option, many places treat patients with the sliding-scale payment system if they don't have insurance or cannot  afford to pay in full.  A lot of these places are community/city health care centers.  Some private practices allow this as well.  She would need to make a list of the places in her area (starting with her first choices) and call each one, say that she is uninsured and ask if they accept patients on a sliding-scale.  They will understand right away and be able to answer the question.  The larger the town/city, the faster it may be to find a place.   \n\nI do not think that places go out of their way to see if a person is insured so I doubt she'll be turned down for treatment because of that.  Unless she proves that she has insurance, they will assume she has none.

i don't know about Texas but if you go to jail they don't charge you in Louisiana. so my suggestion is go to jail and spend a long time there. maybe by the time you get out you will be willing to accept your kid also :-)

Hmm..this is a hard question!\nYou could try contacting the Good Samaritan Society (link below). I don't think they have a branch in Louisiana but, they do have some right next door in Texas.\nThe goal of their organization is to help older people/disabled people/people in need. Whether it be for healthcare, housing, or other services. They might be able to hook you up with someone who could help you.\nI hope they can help and good luck on getting your van!
