Low Income Health Insurance Pennsylvania
DN! PA faces health care death spiral
declined for health insurance because of !!!!? Gastric Bypass
ok, so I had gastric bypass nine months ago. Thank you to that I am now in very good health! However, I can not take out insurance because of this. I just lost my job a few days before being eligible for health insurance and trying to buy a plane, can not cover! I'm on the waiting list for the state of low Insurance income, but the waiting list is about 2 years (SE Pennsylvania). Does anyone have ANY advice on where and how I get coverage? I looked into the matter care credit and if I needed to use it, the payments would be more than one loan Mortgage … not afford any more than I can afford to pay a hospital in the pocket (no income and no money in unemployment, even). HELP!
It is people like you who are in need of medical assistance and there is little available. With the new stimulus set, the waiting list could be much lower. So I think the Governor is trying to do something to help this list much too low. I also live in PA. Stay on this point. In the meantime, I suggest you apply for Medicaid to see if you can get. I think you need a medical condition that requires absolutely treatment before they give it to you as diabetes or something more serious which could be life threatening. Do you need treatment or medication you can not live without? The state aid is a very good insurance, one of the best you can get because it covers almost everything with little or no personal expenses. Your pre-existing condition or medical history has no effect on state aid. You are fully covered for any one day. Good luck.
