Medicaid dropped me- I need medical insurance but can't afford it

Hello,

Some websites offer assistance finding drug payment help.

PPARX and RX ASSIST.

If you live in New York State, the Medicaid Buy-In program might help you however I take it since you've been dropped already you do not live in New York State.

At any rate, the new Affordable Health Care option, should President Obama sign it into law, would help people like you obtain health insurance.

Regards,

Christina

Have you applied for Social Security Disability Income?  I get $1013/month on SSDI.  Plus after 2 years on Social Security, you are automatically eligible for Medicare.  If your doctor says you are unable to work because of your disability, there are several companies onlines (like Allsup) and probably many lawyers in your area who would help you apply.  And they most they can collect from you is 25% of what Social Security would owe you in back pay.  In my case, it was $250.  And well worth it.  I was approved for SSDI in about 4 months.

Of course, I am fortunate that I also have coverage from Blue Cross Blue Shield and only have to pay $10-$35 for each prescription.  I don't have Medicare Part D; I guess I don't need it.

Do you live with your parents?  I lived with mine for years after I figured out that symptoms of sz would not allow me to keep any job for more than a couple of weeks.  Is that an option for you?  It still may not make your meds affordable.  I really wish I could tell you something that would help.  Like the previous poster, drug companies can often assist people who are unable to pay for their meds.  I wish you the best.
