Hi,

Here, Medicaid/Welfare are almost the same thing. I do not have traditional welfare coverage. My pittance of SSI is just enough to not allow me to have all the other benefits.

I have to pay for part of of my medications, which costs me over a hundred dollars a month. I do receive some "food stamps", but you can't buy a whole lot of food with around $50 a month.

I am, however, extremely thankful for what I do receive. It could be so much worse.
