You can go to the welfare office and hospitals who will help you out getting insured.  They set you up for vision, dental and other health care insurance.  They even help you set up everything to be covered.  It's out there, you have to do some research.

There is no hospital that will set you up with insurance.  And the "welfare office" as you say does not do this either.  You have to go online and apply.  And just because you apply does not mean you are going to be accepted to get it for free.

We have Obama Crap Care which I can't afford to use but have to pay for every month.  The Dr. keeps bugging me to come in for this and that.  I was just there on a FREE THE DRUGS visit.  They were being held hostage.  She was bugging me to get on rat poison for Afib but, that would be sooooo expensive in blood tests.  Now, today, I just get another message that they want me to come in and discuss my Sjogrens.  ARGH!  There isn't anything you can do for Sjogrens.  I can't afford to go in and talk about something that you can't do anything about.  Maybe if I can find a good medicare plan, next year, I can get some stuff done but, in the meantime, I need to stay away, if at all possible from clinics and hospitals!

Why do you HAVE to pay for bamercare every month?  WHO is forcing you to take this insurance?

Go to the exchange website for your state and obtain it that way. When I was underemployed, that's how I did it - actually had several options and wasn't really expensive fortunately.

Not everyone can afford that.  That was the point of others.  It is WAY too expensive.  Not everyone is going to qualify for the free ride.  I know I didn't.  The only ins I have found costs more than I make in a month.  Maybe it has to do with the state you live in.  NOTHING is affordable about the so called affordable care act.  NOTHING.

We dropped our health insurance as it had gotten so expensive we  couldn't  afford it .  Like $500.00 and over  each. Now we are on Medicare.   Just recently we  found out  there are programs out there that we  qualified for.  We now get Medicaid  also that pays for  C and D. So  we are getting everything  free and might have to pa$3.50 for meds.  We also do not have to pay that  deduction on  Medicare  either. Go to your  Social security office and ask for it. I also put  my day on it .  He is paying like $400.00  a month and  is only making $766.  A month.  So now he will no longer have to pay  for supplement insurance he will no longer pay for the deduction out of his Social security.  Folks the programs are  there you just have to  ask.

Apply for Medicaid. Look online how and you can do it over the phone if that works best for you.

Must be nice.  Yeah there are freebies for "some" people.  Be glad you qualify.  Everybody does not qualify.  And FYI FREE is not FREE.  YOU may not pay for it but somebody else is.  Like the people who are paying $1000 to $1500 a month for premiums.
