[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 560816, member: 1233"] On a more serious note, you are going to have to have proof of a serious illness before you get medicaid if you earn more than around $600/mo (in most areas anyway). You get this started by doing what you did, and you may have to go to social security to get the papers started. BUT you may be able to get help if you get to a sw at DHS who knows the system. It may only happen after a trip to the ER/hospital that you cannot pay for. OFten the hospital will have their sw do paperwork to get you covered because that way they get paid. If the docs give you a diagnosis of a chronic, serious illness then you are likely to get medicaid/medicare. I don't know what they did when you were at the hospital, but hopefully they did whatever will make this easier for you. (((((hugs))))) If you must, call the kidney doctor and see if he thinks that you are bad enough for him to label you disabled. This would be a big help in jumpstarting this process. Esp if he wants you to take medications regularly. As for 48 condoms a week, why not? It isn't like you can afford to go to the movies or out to eat all the time!!! You have to do something when you cannot afford to do nothing!!!!!!! Everybody needs a hobby. [/QUOTE]
