The hospital will even fill out papers if there's a need for treatment to try to get you some insurance. Tell them you have a job, for now, you just want to get checked. I hope you really do it.

You have people who love you and including us and you need to get checked. So please go, and dont give us any lip back. You asked for help and many many people responded with your best interests at heart. Don't let us down. I know you're afraid they will stick you in rehab,. They cant do it forecefully unless you've done something wrong. For now, just go get checked to see what is wrong. Then take it from there. SPEAK UP. SILENCE IS DEADLY!

In Minnesota, we have MinnesotaCare for people who can't afford. The program is 20 years old, and we have some of the highest percentage of insured in the country because of this. Check into what health programs your state offers for low income people. It's only a phone call or web search away. |

If they have to admit you and you have no insurance there is usually a social worker on duty that will talk with you and help you get medicaid or otherwise help you. Don't delay if you need medical attention. ..."The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day.

geminilion User ID: 12895036 United States 12/10/2012 08:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My brother, who has had no insurance since he was laid off, and would not go to any of the free or sliding fee clinics available to him, had several strokes in April of 2102 and he is still in the hospital. Since he neglected his health he also had at the time an inguinal hernia and his colon ruptured, gangrene had set in, and both were operated on at the same time. The hospital got him on Medicaid and currently his kidneys have failed and he is on a ventilator and has other problems. Now with obamacare kicking in who knows what they will or will not do for him especially since obama has moved so much funding out of Medicaid and Medicare to fund his bound to fail program. After watching all they have done for my brother my other siblings and I have filled out DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) paperwork just in case. So sorry for your brother. I had it good when I had private insurance even though it would get more expensive by the year. I think everyone should be able to get healthcare. ..."The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts.

geminilion User ID: 12895036 United States 12/10/2012 08:43 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Go the the ER as another poster said they will stabilize and treat your symptoms. If after care is needed they can refer you to a clinic or something. Also, you can agree to make payments on bill. ..."The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts.

I had it good when I had private insurance even though it would get more expensive by the year. I think everyone should be able to get healthcare. Thank you for your kind words concerning my brother they are much appreciated. Access to healthcare abounds and if my brother had reached out in a timely fashion then many of his health issues could have been resolved before reaching the level they have. Now with obamacare who knows what will be available to him and moving him to a religious affiliated hospital is becoming more difficult by the day as they are passed over by the government and economic times are rough and many re folding. My brother’s failure to reach out stemmed from his obesity and the years of abuse the sperm donor, also known as our father subjected to him. By the time, my brother was in his early twenties I could not get him to walk with me after diner when visiting while on leave from the military he simply became verbally abusive. My sister, brother and I found all the free and sliding scale health clinics nearby and did print outs of names and addresses but we could not force him to go. In my brother’s case, his home is up for repossession and he has no savings or checking account thus there is nothing for the obama regime to pilfer so where will he stand. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 29609866 United States 12/11/2012 01:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | That's so true.. How messed up is that?? The 'white people' who founded, created, worked this land, Yeah our people built ALL THAT..sweated,cried, bled, even gave their life's for this country. To leave a better life for the generations to come has now been stolen by some who have no loyalties to the country, who have no roots here, who have done nothing but take from it.. i actually know nursers who look down on poor 'white people' who come in with out money to pay, but believe none citizens are entitled to all the benefits as long as they're free, just because of climbing/crossing/sneaking over some fence for the benefit of living here. It's backasswards. But agree go to the hospital. dont go to the hospital. like someone else already said, they will treat it as an er visit and won't do squat. you actually have to go to a low income clinic who will then refer you etc etcetc. there are plenty available to ALL skin colors -even white. just go |
