Answer 1

Unfortunately, unless you meet the federal guideline for disability, you would not qualify for medicaid in Ohio. Perhaps your doctor could offer you some kind of cash discount. Or you could check out the county facilities to see if they offer a sliding fee scale based on your income. Often prescription medication samples can help with your costs and if you contact the manufacturers of the medications you take, they have programs to help you afford your medications as well.

Answer 2

Come to Canada? That is all the help I can offer, as I do not reside in the US.
