Where can a person who has no job, cannot qualify for medicaid/medicare due to household income, no insurance, and in need of help turn? The "community" services in this area that are free or use a sliding fee are more of a joke than a way to help. Medicaid here uses 1985 incomes as a guideline - like a family of 3 people really can live on $298 a month....

My girlfriend REALLY needs some quality care, and I will do what I can to help, but even with my employee discounts at the hospital, it will still be expensive.

I welcome all ideas - people, this is to help someone I think of as much more important than myself...she is the mother of my child, the love of my life, and I feel like I am failing her by not having an answer.

Any suggestions?

if she wants to try working and has some form of disability i'd suggest the office of vocational rehabilitation in your town. not sure if the above willl help her since i don't know her status.
there are so many ppl in need right now it's sad you all are having such a rough time too like so many. hope someone else may have more ideas for you. will keep u in my prayers.
