No Insurance. Need Surgery. HELP!?

Question

My husband found out today that he is going to need surgery for a hernia that he developed. I am a full time student with no income and he works at a job that pays $6.50 for 25 hours if he is lucky. We have a car that we are paying off along with a list of other bills. I need help finding out where to get payment assistance without insurance. Also I want to know if a fundraiser would be appropriate and how would I go about doing that i.e. contacting radio stations, churches, and other charitable organizations.

Answer 1

Bless your husband for working, and I'm sorry for what that ignoramus on top of me said, but I'm sure you can apply for medicaide, which is there for low income people, or maybe have some fund raisers or something. Ask around in your community, you never know what will pop up. Good luck hon!!

Answer 2

I would go to your local Health Department or DHS.  They would be able to help or maybe know where help can be found.  If you can not find help, just pay it out as best you can.  I did not have insurance when I had a C section with my daughter.  I finally paid her off last month. She is 11 1/2 now.  Slowly but surely.

Answer 3

It Sounds like you are really screwed up by this problem. Hope you could get good luck here.http://car-insurance.bestips.info/car-in...

Answer 4

well just to warn u now im just 11 so everything i might is not 100% right. well my family is a low income family thing. so when ever our family has to check with the doctor its free!. and i think surgerys are also free (the goverment pays the bills) i dont if u can be like me.

Answer 5

The fundraisers are good ideas if you can get others to help you, but I would try to see if there is state assistance available.  Talk to the doctor or the hospital that will be doing the surgery to find out if there are programs available for people with certain income levels.  At times they do the procedures for free.  Most of all your can get some direction and much needed care.  Best of luck.
