[QUOTE="buddy, post: 471107, member: 12886"] Since quitting my job 4 years ago, I have had no health insurance. I have had no medical care even though I have an ongoing auto-immune disease and a back injury. I thought I found a program for people who make too much for programs to qualify for help and make to little to afford health care insurance....it didn't work out. Today I got a call from a clinic I was referred to. It was opened just in the last couple of years and is attached to a major hospital so has all specialties. Even if I dont qualify for a program they will accept 20 dollar payments for the rest of my life to pay off my care. Turns out after sending my paycheck stub, they said I did qualify in their own program for 50% off care. Still too much for me but at least it wont be AS much and I can make payments. I have to stay healthy or who will take care of difficult child. Now, what to do about dental care???? difficult child actually knocked out a tooth (this was not aggression, he was going up stairs and did like a donkey kick in play and I was behind him, it got me in the mouth, he felt awful) I almost never smile because I am so embarassed. There is nothing, absolutely nothing except help if you have an emergency. I have had a couple of fillings fall out too so that is a huge proglem. You have to qualify for financing to get payment plans. I dont have any credit cards or anything. I paid off everything that was my responsibility when I sold my house and then found out a former business partner stopped paying a card that was only used for the business but was in my name (she had fertility problems and then adopted, with all the expense she just stopped paying and didn't tell me). So huge credit blip for me. Oh well, enjoy one good thing for now.... [/QUOTE]
