He also has problems with his knee and back- BUT the problem is where to go get medical attention when your broke!!!

We have to Beg every month for help and people just don't understand.
He currently goes to the Health Dept. for his blood draws he has to have them monthly. Also he gets all his meds there for $5.00-Thank the good LORD

I buy his warafin every month.He also has a Bad back and Bad Knee
But you have to have cash to see a doctor money we don't have. Any suggestions??? Please reply he is 55yrs old. God Bless You all
Did you apply for Medicaid? When my Cobra expired, I didn't pick up health ins. because it was too expensive.I went over a yr w/o health ins. When I won my case,Medicare paid for the last 6 months of the medical bills. My specialists then only charged me 40 and 50 bucks respectively while I was uninsured. I got all the major testing done while I still had ins. There are places that charge less than 100 bucks for an MRI ,when a local hospital could charge up too 1800. Best thing too do would be shop around and ask for pricing for testing. Worse comes to worse,set up an acct. at your local hospital for testing. Mine charged me 25 bucks a month.
