we can no longer afford insurance how does that work? what if you need a dr. where do you go?

Answer 1

Maybe a volunteer - fee based clinic if your state has one available....

Answer 2

Lots of communities have sliding fee based clinic, where the amount you are charged is determined by the size of your family and your income.
There are also a few free clinics scattered throughout the United States.
If you have a fairly low income, you can apply for Medicaid in most states, which will pay for most of your medical needs.
There are usually free or low cost women's clinics available in almost any large community.
Children are usually elgible for Medicaid type programs in nearly every state, as long as the parents make under a certain amount of money.
Worst case scenario, you can always go to the ER for medical treatment. If the hospital accepts government funding, and most do, then they can never turn anyone away due to lack of insurance or inability to pay. They are usually really good at working out payment plans, too.
Hope this helps!

Answer 3

As a single mom w/ no insurance I ended up using my credit cards to get by. I worked so I didn't qualify for the free clinics or reduced health care. The working poor are on their own.

Answer 4

In California lots of programs available, depending on your income marital status, children ET. you can go to my website www.healthcareman.com and look under group, I have listed every single free healthcare system in California listed for anyone to find free healthcare. If you want care, you will find care- in California in every city Doctors volunteer free services for low income or anyone who needs care. We do live in a good society, with lots of good docs who really want to help. For children you can buy low cost or free healthcare in Ca. MedICal is available for those who make under the poverty level, for those who make over the poverty level to mid income can qualify for Healthy familes, this is a wonderful program for kids and is only 20.dollars per month!

In most states WAlmart is offering lots of drugs for $4.00 per day supply for most generics, amoxacillin ET. I would recommend you go to American REd Cross if you have more needs or if you think you have diabetes see the American Diabetes association.

Good Luck
