If you qualify. I make too much to qualify for "assistance", but my insurance is ridiculously high and every year (I do shop around) they ask for more and offer less and less. "If" is the biggest word in the dictionary. The issue is divorcing medicine and profit. Healthcare is and always will be a basic human right. I would be OK with starting incrementally, say, I buy health insurance and I pay NOTHING ELSE EVER, no matter if I stub my toe or I need a quadruple bypass. The issue is also one of the insurance companies coming between me and my doctor. We know what's best for me, not the insurance company. I've been fighting this battle for 20 years and I'm more disgusted with each passing year. I now know how to fight it on an individual level as far as getting debt forgiven, etc., but no one should have to live like this.
- chaganated 6y agoHave you checked your state's CHIP program? The income limitations are usually very generous, and the networks are usually far better than medicaid.
- giantg2 6y agoYeah, I was going to say this. The limit in my state for a family of 4 is like $80k for partial assistance and $50k for it being free.
