I'm hoping someone can help me out with what seems like a hopeless situation. I had health insurance for 18 years when I worked in the aerospace industry. Due to massive layoffs I lost my job. I have had no insurance now for about 2 years. I'm not rich, but have enough that I do NOT qualify for medicaid. My income is nil right now, but my personal assets are fairly high. Last month i was diagnosed as having a brain tumor. I started having serious nerological symptoms, went to doctor and he ran tests. I could barely afford the $8800 it cost to achieve this diagnosis. Now I need chemo and possibly surgery. We are talking hundreds thousands. Is there any programs out there for me? I own my home, have some other assests, but only $6K in the bank. I don't qualify because i own my home. Am I going to have loose everything I spent my life working for because of this? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
