The state is going to cancle my medicaid!!!!!!HELP?

Question

It's not fair! They're going to take away our health coverage at the end of the month!! What am I going to do? I have 2 kids one is 2 and the other is 5 and they're going to loos their medicaid too! I don't know what will happen cuz I want to have 2 more children and I can't afford to pay for the doctors and hospital.

I can't go to work because I have the kids and my boyfriend can't get insurance b/c he is part time at his job and has to be full time to get insurance. He just had to buy some new gear for his band because somone stole the other gear (and when they get a record deal we'll be ok) and I cant afford to pay for my son's medication without the state's help! How can I stop this so me and my kids won't have to be without insurance?? Do you know if they cancle your medicaid will they take away your EBT and wic?

This isn't fair!! Please help us or im afraid that my kids might get really sick and cant get to see the dr because we cant pay for it. I am an AMERICAN citizen!!

Answer 1

What is not fair is that you expect for the rest of us to pay for your health coverage.

Just because you have children does not mean that you can't work. Being a stay-at-home-mom is a privilage that many people cannot afford and it's not fair to those of us that actually work and care for our children to have to pay for your expenses out of our paychecks.

Your boyfriend needs to be a bit more responsible because if you can't afford his meds then he should put your son above some music equiptment.

You need to take responsibility and take care of your children and not expect the state to give you hand outs. Medicaid is for those that are truely needy, you sound like you're able to go and work.. so do it for your kids.

Answer 2

Welcome to the real world honey...I hate to say it, but that is exactly how it goes. Our government is so concerned with other countries, when they have people in our own country needing help. I had to have open heart surgery two years ago when I was 23, and I was not allowed to work for a year and a half, and they denied me medicaid because I was not single and pregnant, and because I wasn't over 65. There is nothing you can do. I have tried. Your best bet, it to try and find a job that has insurance, but with that you will be losing a lot of money. As for your kids, they should not take your childrens insurance away. But really, your sons medication is much more important than your boyfriends band equipment. As for EBT and WIC...that has nothing to do with medicaid. That is something completely different, and you losing your medicaid has no affect on whether or not you will lose your other benefits. Please for the sake of your children and yourself, get a job, and tell your boyfriend that he needs to be working FULL TIME! I have a child...she is under one years old, and both my husband and I have full time jobs.

Answer 3

Do us all a favor: do NOT have two more children. You said yourself that you cannot afford to take them to the doctor's - you are already struggling enough as it is with two children and if you have two more and then whine about how you can't pay for it, that's YOUR fault. Tell your boyfriend to get a full-time job. More than likely his band will NOT get a record deal. Don't hold on to that hope. Do something for your children NOW. Yes, you are an American citizen, but that doesn't entitle you to do nothing and get free insurance for your kids, especially if you are planning on having two more kids when you cannot financially care for them. Medicaid is for people who need help; not for people who plan to have kids and keep them on Medicaid. That's just wrong; it's not what being an "American" is all about.

Answer 4

well you being an american citizen do not have the right to suck the rest of us dry, with the taxes it cost to cover your medicaid. So we are paying initially for your boyfriends band equipment? You guys need to get a job. Right along with the rest of the immigrants that come to our country and get medicaid. The rest of us are sick of paying hugh costs for insurance. Beleive me if you are losing your medicaid it is for a reason, either fraud or you are making too much money. So you will lose your other benefits as well. Maybe not wic. But you know what you want to have MORE kids, well the american public as a whole does not want to pay for your breeding habits. You and boyfriend need to get a job or two!

Answer 5

I have medicaid for my children too, but unlike you I work at least 32 hrs per week if not 40. I have an IUD to prevent future children and I plan on going back to school in the fall. You can't live on the system forever. The least you can do is find a dead end job if your not going to go to college and better yourself. Don't you want to set a good example for your kids? Find someone to babysit and go to work while the kids are there. At least you won't be sitting on your butt doing absolutely nothing to help yourself.

Answer 6

Some nerve you have! You had a choice to not have kids and now you want the state to support them? And to top that off, you say you want to have 2 more kids? I suggest you find a way to get a job and work it out with boyfriend on how to take care of the kids. Also tell boyfriend to get a full time job! Don't have kids if you can't afford them! Why should the taxpayers support you and yours?You say it isn't fair, well girlie, it isn't fair to us taxpayers either!

Answer 7

WIC goes till the children are 5 and covers them medically until that age. I have never heard of anyone losing WIC before. On what grounds are you losing it? Any er will treat a sick child and they will have you reapply for medicaid on the spot. Dont have any more kids till you can figure out how to take care of these too but your questions smells like nonsense to me.

Used to work for welfare.

Answer 8

look into purchasing a low cost individual health plan. there are tons to choose from that will give you a limited number of doctor's office visits with a co-pay and at least generic drug coverage. unless you run the kids to the ER or doctor every time they have a sniffle, a plan like this would work fine for you.

unless one of you has some sort of chronic health condition, you should have no problems qualifying.

you've said 'i can't afford insurance' but you probably can.

what's worse - $150-200 per month in premium for insurance or being forced into bankruptcy even by a any sort of moderate emergency that may present itself?

you may want to look into a health incentive account as well. it provides you with a fixed number of dollars to use for your healthcare expenses (typically $500-$1000/yr) then you are responsible for anything over that until you meet your deductible. many plans like this have 100% coverage after your deductible, so in the case of a catastrophic illness or injury, again, it would save your livelihood. some HIA plans also cover preventive care services (immunizations, vaccines, annual physicals, pap smears, mammograms, etc) at 100% from day one.

don't do your insurance shopping on the internet. compile a list of individual companies and contact them directly. going direct will save you the headache of dealing with brokers and online firms that will likely not provide you service or be readily available to answer your questions in a timely.. or even correctly in a lot of cases.. fashion. ask the agent to check if your doctor's and hospitals of choice are in their network and ask about negotiated rates for services that will apply towards your deductible.

think generic - if your kids are taking brand name medication, consult with your doctor about generic options available to you.

for brand name prescription assistance, visit the partnership for prescription assistance website. they have arrangements with most major drug manufacturers who will help with the cost of brand name medications, sometimes providing them for free depending on your situation.

Answer 9

Well DUH.Try working a full time job each of you like the rest of us to take care of your kids. It sounds like u don't have any skills to if you don't make much there is free day care available, at least u can suck the govt for that, it not everything. You young people make me sick, able bodied and with a brain expecting to be carried by others. You had those kids its not up to society to raise them.

Answer 10

get off your butt and get a job and stop living off the system. you can work and should be working. but the younger child in daycare while the older is in school. instead of buying band gear your boyfriend needs to get real and get a real job. work full time. music on the side. not the priority. not everyone who wants a record deal gets one. rejoin the real world and get real jobs you had sex now get off your back and get a job welfare is to aid you while you get on your feet, you only get it for up to two years and stop having kids til you can afford insurance for them
