How to get medical insurance for free or cheap in America?
    #7485497 - 10/04/07 04:03 PM (16 years, 5 months ago)

Hi,

I was wondering if anybody has any insurance plans that are covered for very cheap (maybe something like Kaiser Permanente?) or for free, similar to certain welfare plans?

If I recall there is medicaid, but I think you have to be at least 65 years old to qualify for that...

I know that there has to be one for people whose income is low enough to qualify them for free healthcare, regardless of age, especially if you've already been on welfare before... does anybody know?

Medicaid.

But really, most places offer insurance to full time employees.

...most subjects find the experience valuable, some find it frightening, and many say that is it uniquely lovely.

Nope, you can be of any age. Just as long as your assets are below a certain level (usually under $2000 in most states)

UHH prison has garbage care too, in order to even see a nurse at one of the busier institutions you have to file a court order in by a judge (which can take up to a month mind you)... in the meantime, you could have a broken fracture or tetanus or a brown recluse spider bite or whatever the hell it is you have... and then once you get seen by a doctor the BEST pain med they might script you is 1 pill of vicodin for 1 fucking day, and even then they are soooo stingy about giving that out to anybody. they make sure you swallow the pill and check your mouth afterwards to make sure you aren't hiding it in there, etc.

actually, now i DO recall... once you get released they hand you a pile of pamhlets & brochures for free STD & healthcare checkup in certain areas... (probably because they know how grimey they keep their facilities lol) now the question is how do i get one? >_>
