Been denied assistance, not enough work credits to apply for disability, can't afford any type of insurance, and don't have any family/friends to help me. I have a heart valve disorder, leg swelling, incontinence, and bad teeth that are litterally falling out. Can I get help before my 10 year son is motherless????

I would say go with less insurance coverage if you were comfortable with that, except for your current condition.
Here are some quick thoughts. All the Web sites I mention are listed below.
1.Free Clinic: you can go to a free clinic (link below) or county health department for discounted health care.
2.Local medical and dental schools might provide discounted health care.
3.Welfare: It’s not insurance, exactly, but if you need help, you need help.
4.Medicaid: Link below to get in touch with your state’s Medicaid office.
5.State Insurance Office (link below). Ask them about programs to assist people who are in your situation.
6.Consumer Credit Counseling Services (CCCS): It’s free and they can help you with financial planning. Make sure that if you go to a consumer credit counseling service they are part of the National Foundation for Credit Counseling.
7.Needy Meds: If you have a specific illness, there might be an organization that can help pay for your treatment (link below).
I’d try to find help first, but I’d also check around to see how expensive private insurance would be. Visit MostChoice.com. It’s a site that provides free quotes and plan details on health insurance, but it also lets local insurance agents know you’re looking for a new health plan. There’s no cost or obligation. You just tell the agents what kind of coverage you need and the money you can spend, and they do all the legwork. Even if you don’t find anything that’s right for you, it will give you a good idea of what’s out there without having to do all the work yourself.

Good luck.

My goodnes! It sounds like you need BIG time help. Let me tell you that the best advise I can give you is to trust in Jesus! He is the only one who can make things happen for you. When things seem to go wrong and can't find the answer, look to your creator. I will be praying for you to get the help you need. I would help you if I had the money, but I am just getting out of some financial trouble myself. I got into my own homebase business and I teach people how to make money from the comfort of home. If you're interested, let me know and you can make money quickly if you want to. And at the same time, get help with your health challenges.

Try a teaching hospital for medical help, and a school of dentistry for dental help.
