Are you kidding me? I barely have two pennies to rub together at the end of a pay period. Go to a free clinic? Yea, me and just about everyone else who doesn't have insurance, and the wait for an appointment is nothing compared to the MOUNTAIN of paperwork and verification you need to even prove you're poor enough to get service. When you're really sick and can't wait a week or two for an appt. at a free clinic, but you don't have $150 to drop on Patient First, what do you do? That's what I need to know, because right now it seems like my only resort is the emergency room. ….I came here looking for alternatives and all I got was the same speech I get from everyone. $200 isn’t that bad?

Just like people not carry any car insurance. And pray that you will not have any major accident that cause major damage or injury to another person or their car.

She past away outside the parking lot. she make be in her mid 40's. Don't count on it but DO always get medical help if needed regarding of money as mentioned by Aurora. Money can always be there for you to make, but your life is only ONE to live. God bless everyone!

I hope they will at the most take you through the Medicaid or Medicare maze. Or ask if a Social Worker or office staff member at the hospital can give you the phone numbers for Medicaid and Social Security. Also, there are legitimate lawyers that specialize in obtaining Social Security/Medicare benefits for people who are ill. You do not have to pay this type of lawyer up front. They do not get paid until they win your Social Security case. Do not ever write a check, use a credit care or write an IOU or give cash to a Social Security lawyer. If a Social Security lawyer asks for money up front, the lawyers is a crooked! Social Security lawyers are limited by law to a specific amount of money they can charge and receive. In fact, when anyone obtain's Social Security Disability Benefits, the Social Security Office issues the lawyers check from your benefits. Fear not! After you win your case from the Social Security office or in Social Security Court, you will be sent a check. The check is 'back dated' from the date you became unable to work full time, then minus the lawyers fee and you will be reimbursed with some survival money and you'll have access to Medical care. I hope and wish you well. ACMTD Kwind, Consider contacting Social Services, Social worker at any highly rated hospital. I hope they will at the most take you through the Medicaid or Medicare maze.

My question is, if you get treated for an illness when you're uninsured, and then pick up health coverage, isn't it excluded then as a pre-existing condition? I don't typically use the conventional healthcare system for my problems. But my fear is that if I'm diagnosed with something serious when I'm uninsured, I'll be stuck paying out-of-pocket for it for the rest of my life. Thank you for this information.

I have found that if they do, and if you are likely to qualify, it is better not to pay anything for their care (other than the doctor bill and any lab work) than to pay a lot at a clinic.

You would think the richest country in the world would take care of the needs of its own people. Other countries that has a whole lot less take care of the health care needs of its own people. America is very cruel country that cares nothing about its citizens dying in the hospital without health insurance. Its cold-hearted and evil to let people suffer without the proper health insurance.
