WE make less than $5,000.00 a year. We do not qualify for ACA or any assistance of any kind (without a long drawn out legal battle which one could very well die while waiting for it). I was covered in chemicals on the job. Due to the corrupt system here I was denied adequate medical care when it happened. The insurance company and the employer lied their asses off. The insurance company that was supposed to by law make sure I was treated properly didn't. They by law have the right to send an injured employee to the doctor of their choice. That doctor of their choice attempted to give my drugs (very dangerous ones). I refused to take his drugs and I wasn't about to lie like the lawyer said I should and tell him I did. Long and short of that is the state employees and the lawyers, insurance company etc.... all covered their asses and covered up the fact that the insurance companies doctor was actually a drug addict, sociopath who had once previously lost his license for drug abuse and endangering patients. This is what your insurance companies do. You can keep them as they will and would let people die in order to save or make a buck.If they're smart, they will doctor themselves. Almost always that is best anyway. Going to a money-grubbing quack doctor should be the last thing you do.
Most people on the ACA make 22000 to 100,000 grand a year, which is more than min wage. What should they do now?? Please tell me.
Even is one makes10 bucks an hour and works full time that is only 20,800, not enough to be on the ACA.
What is your solution??
In the states that have not expanded Medicaid, a family of 3 in texas needs to make less than 8700 a year for Medicaid.
What is your solution??
Give yourself that heart bypass, ok, give yourself that gall bladder surgery. Doctor yourself,
maybe the congressmen should dr. themselves.
Learn how to prevent heart disease and learn what it takes to prevent Gall Stones from forming (take care of your Liver properly). If you get Gall Stones (BTW, everyone has them not all end up a problem) learn what you can do to treat them at home I did. It wasn't easy and it can be very painful but if you don't have insurance and your state won't allow for any medical care even though their doctor says you need it you'll find a way or die. Its that simple.
PC is correct if you absolutely are in dire need a hospital cannot turn you away. I've been there and done that too. Had a creepy doctor call my mom when the children were babes and tell her come get your grandchildren as your daughter is too sick to watch over them. He knew I was deathly ill but sent me home to die because I did not have insurance (long time ago but I recall it like yesterday). My mom came and got the children and left a handyman there to watch over me. I called her and told her I appreciated the thought but did not want him there while trying to crawl to the bathroom when I had to puke. I had Chickenpox that went into my lungs, intestine throughout. Ran a fever of over a 102 for almost a week. Friends came to see me because they had not heard from me for days. Told me they were going out of state and they would be back to check on me in a few hours. If I did not go to the hospital on my own they would call an ambulance. I drifted in and out of consciousness for several hours just like I had been for days. (I won't get too detailed as it would take too long). Anyhow I did not want a bill for an ambulance on top of everything else I couldn't pay so I drove self to hospital. Literally fell through the emergency doors. The hospital kept me there for a week knowing that I had not a dime to pay them. Even today they would do the same or face a very expensive lawsuit for turning away someone at deaths door.
I was deeply grieved to read that.
Prayers for you and yours.
