If you were an illegal immigrant (criminal), a terrorist, or an incarcerated criminal, the government would most likely pay for it.  Unfortunately the government has no use for non-leaches on society.  If i win the lotto any time soon I will pay for it.

I know you say that you can't afford it, but you need to see a doctor. Most likely it's nothing, but it's worthy of investigation. I've been where you are...no insurance, suspicious lump (in my breast), there are places that you can go to get help. Call your local health department and see what services they offer for people in your position, they may also be able to point you in the direction of a low or no cost clinic in your area. Also, contact your local hospital, most offer charity care which would cover all or part of your bill based on your income. Good luck.

Get hair transplant surgery in India.Cosmetic Surgery is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges cosmetic surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.I have also read that they arrange financing for american and canadian patients as cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance.They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your cosmetic surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.If you still havent got your surgery done,you are better off getting it done in India.\nhttp://www.forerunnershealthcare.com\nhope this helps

Money never comes easy, does it?  I'm also trying to raise money - although for entirely different reasons - and it's not exactly a piece of cake, even though I have a steady paycheck.  The best advice I can give you is to immediately set aside some money each month into a special savings fund for your surgery.  You can also raise additional money by selling things online (I've made about $50.00 on EBay over the past several days, which is a start), holding a garage sale, getting an extra job, or starting some kind of small business (think crafts, making jewellery, or maybe childcare).  I also know someone who makes some GREAT homemade treats (brownies and cookies) and sells them to local businesses.  Maybe you could start a program where people pay to get a pre-made casserole or dinner dish from you that they just need to warm up in the oven?  Be creative, be disciplined, and believe in yourself!  Congratulations on your weight loss - I wish you the absolute best of luck!!

Go to the business office at the VA hospital.  They will give you the paperwork to fill out and I believe they either give you the money or cut you a check...used to take my brother to the VA and dealt with the same situation.

The best way to go about finding that plastic surgeon willing to help would be to ask directly, and ask many! If it is truly something they would view as a charity situation,I'd imagine a few would do it out of kindness(and/or publicity). If it's something cosmetic to improve self-image for the patient, some offer to line up payment plans usually through local places, interest rate im sure based on the patient's credit rating. my guess would be 12% as a good example. if they wont let you ask for referrals from former patients, i would have trouble trusting them. And if it is for you personally, make sure it's important enough to you to go through a good bit of pain and recovery time before you make that decision. there are some things i could consider changing about myself, but i realize that people like me for who i am a great deal more than my appearance. whether for you or someone else, i hope I've been helpful,and have a great weekend!

Sadly, if there were quick easy money out there, we'd all be going for it.  There isn't, really.  Best thing to do, I think, is look for other folks who are in a similar situation and pick their brains.  And/or talk w/ someone in a temp agency to get a feeling for the needs in your community.  Might be able to do some non-internet based computer work (medical transcriptionist?), or possibly phone work... hope things work out for you!

All hospitals are non profit meaning they have to treat you no matter your financial income. You should be able to call the hospital that you went to and talk to a financial counseler, and explain to them your hardship and moe than likely they will give you assistance and write the bill off. I had over $20,000 in bills and that is what I did and they wrote the entire bill off so I paid nothing. Try that and I hope that it works out for you.

If you have no money, call some clinics from the Yellow Pages and try to negotiate with them on a partial payment.\n\nCall the Department of Human Services.  They may have a list of clinics that charge based on your income.\n\nGo to the emergency room.  They can't refuse you....Good luck!

Hmmmm...  this could be a little tricky with out insurance....BUT...  there could be ways on working around that..   there are free hospitals (if living in the states) suggestion is to try one of them.....  the wait maybe insanely long but you would not need the insurance.....  just bring a very good and long book to read..  also you can try to contact any hospitals administrator and let them know you need medical attention but can not afford it..   ask if they can help..  some times they have programs to help people without insurance..  really ask about this one..   they even might be able to work out some kind of payment plan or they just might pick up the tab altogether..  in any situation for just about anything sometimes the easiest thing to do is to ask for help...   someone somewhere will always help..  if you can not find help in your area...  look elsewhere..  but keep trying..  take care..

Yes most will give you a payment plan and there are many companies that finance plastic surgery. Ask your Dr at a consultation and he will provide a list of companies for you to apply with.\n\n*just to add, my girlfriend did a tummy tuck, boob lift, and eye lift at once. She said the tummy tuck was the most painful thing she ever went through. Just know what your getting into! \nGood Luck

call your dentist! They do care more about you than the money. Ask them if you can pay them so much a week.

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.

free surgery in this era? unfortunately I doubt it is possible, nothing ahppens for free in this country, if our cataracts are very symptomatic then you could consider some sort of a payment plan with the hospitals, otherwise wait to get medicare, good luck
