Guide for Uninsured Multiple Sclerosis Patients

Lisa,

Thanks for the additional info. Readers -- any additional resources you have are welcome as well.

By the way, I also found Steve through Twitter.

It is almost mindboggling what a person has to go through in order to access proper medical services -- and a sad commentary on the state of health care in this country. I totally agree that those who abuse the system make it much harder for honest people to get help.

I strongly encourage readers to share whatever resources they have found.

There are too many variables involved to answer that question. Your income level, your ability to access group insurance, and the availability of services in the local area would all be contributing factors.

The American Diabetes Association has a wonderful resource, "Health Insurance in Your State," where they list the specifics of insurance laws by state.That would be a good starting point for anyone with MS who is thinking about moving.

On a personal level, I have MS, no access to group insurance, and want to move out of state -- it is the insurance issue which has kept us from being able to make that move.

I'm holding out hope for health care reform that would provide those of us living with chronic illness a few more options.
