Please contact your local town hall, and ask for help with social service programs. Please seek help at some local churches. The pastors have a HUGE big book full of programs that are available to low or no income families. They can and frequently do cover the cost of seeking medical care to qualify for medicare/medicaid type programs, but its a matter of who to start asking.

ALWAYS ask for a discount if you are paying cash for ANY service. From having your teeth cleaned to an MRI. Most places are happy to discount for a cash payment. It doesnt matter if that cash is yours, or the church's cash.

IF you can qualify for social security disability income SSDI it take 2 years for medicare to go to the head of the line and provide medical services for you, BUT if you qualify through disability, and financial programs, medicaid will pay for your medical care for those 2 years.

Please, start at town hall. Ask for the welfare officer. Then go to a local church or two, and ask for help in finding where to turn. They have many programs from heat assistance, to food assistance, and are quite good at not only knocking on doors, but knocking down doors.

Dont give up! just take those two baby steps.
