HI ..I'm 23 years old. I inherited Polycystic Kidney Disease ..was diagnosed at age 14. A year later the disease spread to my ovaries. Up until I turned 21, the government has helped me.. I had medical benefits...however, I lost them when I turned 21. I have applied numerous times but I am always denied. Once, while I was unemployeed, they denied me bacause they said you needed some income. Then, I got a job making minimum wage...applied again and was denied because they said I was making TOO much money. I pay rent and have bills just like everyone else so I have to work, of course. It's hard to find a job where benefits are offered for these reasons:
I'm currently attended a community college so it's been hard to find a job that offers benefits that willing to work around my school schedule. Also, sometimes it's hard for me to hold onto jobs because I end up having health problems and having to take considerable amounts off...I am having alot of health problems and I am very scared

I don't know what state you live in, but some are much better than others.
Here in Massachusetts, students at college are required to have health insurance. Most students pay for this out of their student loans. I had a job with the federal government (the VA system) and the health insurance was excellent, even when I was just a nurse's aide. State jobs also provide good benefits as do certain unions like the Teamsters. Keep looking. You might have to move to another state, but there's a solution for you somewhere.

Oh, I wished we had National Health Care like many other progressive countries. I feel for you. These are your choices:
(1) Don't work and collect welfare. Usually, you will then be entitled to medical care.
(2) Move in with your parents. Attend college full time through financial aid. Usually, colleges provide health benefits.
(3) Don't go to college, and get a full time job. If you end up losing your job, then move in with your parents and pay for Cobra insurance for 12 months.
(4) Maybe you can get free medical care by moving to Canada. I don't know what the rules are in Canada.
(5) Try to get a job at Starbucks. They provide their part time employees with health insurance benefits.
(6) If you are heterosexual, focus on finding someone to marry. Maybe he will have health insurance where he works.
(7) And, definitely vote for Hillary Clinton if she ends up being the Democratic candidate. She is for National Health Care.

He needs to call the hospital billing ASAP. There is help available if you ask. Problem is most people wait until they are in collections, and then no one will help you. On his bill(s) there should be phone numbers to call. Start there, then if they can't help he should physically go to the hospital and talk to someone there. Good luck **Edit. The above answerer is 100% incorrect about the credit check. The 2005 Bankruptcy Reform Act removed this protection for us citizens. Medical bills now are routinely reported to credit agencies and WILL lower your FICO/credit score. People really need to wake up to the new reality. Congress is no longer of the people, for the people. It is of the major corporations, for the major corporations. Truth, the other reality.

Wow that was intense you need to stick to your job long enough to get health insurance through that company.
All jobs provide it and its against the law if they dont. So stick with it and also your community college as health options for you, go to the admin desk and talk to them. I didnt have insurance and always went to the er becuase of my kidney's so you might be able to afford without but try not to.

Look and see if your community has a "Free Clinic". Most communities do. Also look to see if you have a United Way Agency.....call them....they often act as First Call for Help from people in need!!!
